First up, the draw feels smooth and gentle thanks to the cordyceps notes. The aroma is pleasant with distinct herbal undertones rather than harsh tobacco. Packaging looks premium in its hard box. Usability is great—easy lighting and consistent burn without sticking to fingers.

I've bought this brand before expecting that classic profile, but this batch feels off. The tobacco isn't as glossy or the herbal notes from Cordyceps aren't quite as mellow. A bit disappointing for a repeat purchase.

The blend of Cordyceps and ginseng adds a distinct, lingering fragrance that feels premium at first sniff. However, the tar content sits at 5mg which is higher than my usual preference for thin cigarettes despite the claims of being light. The finish is smooth enough, but I remain cautious about the long-term health impact of regular use with these levels of carbon monoxide.
