I Really enjoyed these alot. Unique packaging without killing the consumer on costs of packaging. Will have to give the new wrappers a shot. Should be interesting. Viaje hasnt let me down yet. Keep the good work up Stace
Storm, last year’s Shotgun Shells packed a big nicotine punch. This year’s version is supposed to be somewhat dialed back on the punch without losing any of the flavor. Grab ‘em while you can – cheers!
