What do reviewers say about Kingdom and Nu?

Celery and rhubarb. Sounds like a salad, smells like an addiction. Kingdom takes risks with unexpected ingredients that shouldn't work, until they do. That's the whole point.Kingdom

Some people lean back when incense enters the room. Others lean in. Nu is built for the second group, the ones who find smoke meditative rather than overwhelming.Nu
