Is Smoke for the Soul better than Herat?

Smoke for the Soul leads with birch, blue gum eucalyptus, and fir, layering cool, conifer-driven freshness into its woody-cannabis-tobacco heart. Herat takes that same DNA and buries it under amber, jasmine, and Madagascan myrrh, turning warmth into the main event. Both last 6-10 hours at moderate sillage, and at 82% similarity they're practically cousins. Smoke for the Soul wins if you want lift and clarity; Herat wins if you want sweet, resinous weight.
