My last pack of these was erratic and tasted harsh, but this second-generation batch is truly reliable now. The draw feels smooth and the smoke quality matches my high standards for daily use without any surprise variations.

Just opened my first box of Baisha Gen 2. The draw feels smooth and the smoke is surprisingly clean for a budget brand. Packaging was neat, nothing fancy but exactly what I expected from this line.

The second generation packs a harder hit than the original, which some will love. However, the ash breaks easily and there's a distinct chemical bite on the exhale. For this cost per stick, I expected better filtration to soften the throat hit. Specs look decent but quality feels inconsistent.
