Yeah maybe I'll give them some time to steep. At this time I think the 24mg may be too high for me because I can't hardly inhale it (I was an ultra light menthol smoker). I cough every time with just little bitty draws. The 18mg doesn't do that to me. BUT the 24mg is great for my husband that takes such a huge draw off an analog cigarette that the whole cigarette just caves in. He needs that huge TH. So far from myfreedomsmokes our favorites are the blueberry and peach. They are just so smooth and the flavor is wonderful. We got the menthol, ry4, turbosmog, watermelon, eggnog, double mint, spearmint, cappuccino, and newport. We want to find more flavors comparable to the smoothness and tastiness of the blueberry and peach. Blueberry is just the bomb. If we still don't like the others after a couple of weeks, we are going to try swapping or just giving them away on the Pay It Forward.
