These were just as good as the ones I bought from another site, but the price was much better. These are good with smoking herb, but soaking them in wine was just fantastic! Put 1/2 ounce in a bottle of wine and let it soak for a week. Then split it 2 or 4 ways. Nice. Even our dog loves it in raw form or in wine. She has a blast with us, chasing her tale and performing comedy routines.
