Remember how I was underwhelmed by Taishan back then? Thought the taste was too bland for a repeat purchase. This lot is different; much smoother and natural compared to earlier ones, finally meeting high standards again.

Just tried the Taishan Joyousness for the first time. The azure packaging feels classy and fits nicely in my pocket. Smoke is incredibly soft and light with a natural plant aroma; definitely not harsh. Very smooth draw from start to finish.

Checked the specs: 7mg tar feels light and natural, no harsh additives like some blends. The lotus design is crisp on the pack. Burn rate seems consistent for a 97mm stick. Good value if you prefer a milder smoke without heavy flavorings.
