I bought a box at JR's over a year ago and split them with a friend. I liked them, they were decent for taste and talk about smoke, lots of it. They would be hard to put out if you wanted to ..... they just keep burning on their own without dragging on the stick. I bought a box of the regular Belinda, had one in a sampler that was great so I bought a box. So far, the ones from the box haven't been very good, almost no taste. I would go back to the blacks if buying again though.
