    What do reviewers say about Firewater and Malt?

    Smoke people either love this or can't get past the first hour. But that peaty, almost meaty character? That's the whole point. It's not trying to be pleasant.Firewater
    Malt is a whiskey scent that refuses to stay in the glass. The seaweed flips the whole thing, adds a briny, maritime edge that makes it smell like you're standing at the back door of a coastal pub.Malt
