Busted my cherry with one of these, bought it from Asda to celebrate my 25th birthday. It was disgusting. Left a really horrible taste in my mouth and I had to get rid of it. Bought a sampler pack from this site a little while later, which included one of these. I was apprehensive due to my previous experience with them, so I left it till last. I was amazed at how much better it tasted. Dunno what was wrong with the first, maybe it had been out so long at Asda that the tobacco had gone stale, or it wasn't kept at the proper humidity or something. I'm still a little wary about them, and would only buy them from this site in future, but I'd not dismiss them out of hand. YMMV, could be good or bad depending on which one you get, I suppose.
