The draw was perfect for me, no too loose. The burn was inconsistent and the ash was as well. I liked the flavor profile but won't pay $16 for this again. I have smoked at least 15 LE 05's, AVO 80th's, LE 07's, and had a couple LE 08's. The LE09 is my least favorite of all. I agree that the size is too large. The previous LE's were more in my wheelhouse size wise. They all aged extraordinarily well, the LE 07 was awesome after aging for 1+ year. Spence I had the same experience you did minus the draw.

They tend to be a bit longer than the reviews on SR which is great. I've never tried anything by AVO, and at $16 a stick it is unlikely I will start with this one. Nice review though.

Seems like it is a LONG smoke though since yours was around 2.5 hours I believe you said, but $16..yeesh Might be an interesting smoke to try on a special occasion, but just a bit too high priced for anything else. Cant wait to see if you get more and what you think! Mike $16 – cringe!!!
