It hit the mark with having a raspberry taste and smell but just did not knock my socks off as I thought it would. It did not taste as sweet as I thought it would when smoked by itself, but definitely did make a great mixer with flavors like QoS, anything blueberry, with French Buzz and mixed with other desert like flavors I have on hand. Quality was on par with Starbuzz but more stems than usual, maybe it is just the exotic line as they tend to have more stems than bold. Would recommend for a mixer for sure, as a stand alone, maybe.
