i had some of this a couple of months ago and mine was awesome. i have a high tolerence and i thought the batch i had was out of this world. i shared some with my dad after a golf outing and he had 2 rips by the time he got home he said he didnt remember the drive and he said it made him retarded for a couple of hours. i believe that it is how its grown and cured that give it its max potency.
