Brian,

I am about to post my own review of the Air Bender, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar opinion as I did. You and I had an identical experience, including the long ash. Great burn, but very little flavor. I thought I was crazy. Anyway, thanks for confirming my reaction. Amazing how different Rich’s experience was. Speaking of which, I also tasted the molasses on the cold draw. (Sort of a molasses-nutmeg mix.) Good video!

Nice review, guys! My first Air Bender was a Maestro, and it was phenomenal. My 2nd was a Matatan, and it had that “boring” period in the 2nd third that Brian mentions–though I did NOT get that in the Maestro that I smoked.

I’ve concluded that these need a bit of humi time. That “soapy” element that you guys mentioned–in my limited experience–almost always means the smoke needs age.

Well to some extent I’m completely fine with it… I did after all get to watch a good review. To another extent, however, I am a bit concerned considering I’ll have to put a wallet in each of my back pockets from now on to at least make it look like I still have an ass lol. Thanks again, Brian!
