I don't understand the rage myself. I have had 5 flavors from Nicoticket, 3 (GCD, Root Beer Float & Wakonda) were good (I gave them 4 stars), 1 (Gravity) was awful (2 stars) and 1 (CLS) was so weakly flavored it got 3 stars. I still have 2 (Apricot Ambition & H1N1) I've yet to try. The problem I have is all this talk about buy some try it and let it steep for 6 months then it's amazing! Personally I don't want to wait 6 months for anything to become amazing. I think that alot of the buzz is because Kent is a nice guy and runs his company well. People always mention "Kent's a great guy" "Kent's the man" etc etc. This is my opinion and I know that it is unpopular.
How have you NOT hit Apricot Ambition and H1N1? They are both delicious FOOB.
Obviously a person running a company well with very good customer service and good to great flavor profiles is going to develop a following.
So out of 5 flavors you have tasted and assuming your working on a 1-5 scale having 3 of them hit 4 and another at 3 and 1 that didn't hit for you....you don't think that's a outstanding?
You realize that's like hitting 3 triples, a single and a strikeout? To use a baseball analogy I'd take that all day every day from any vendor. Even if you just work off the 3 out of 5 that's a 60% highly favorable rating from you.
I don't know about you but I can't say that about another vendor, although five pawns comes very close. The other vendors are lucky if I've found 1 or 2 that were good out of 10-20 different flavors.
