Best Experience
*For the best aromatic experience, it’s recommended to dedicate each wood type to a single flavor to avoid mixing scents. The wood’s porous nature allows it to absorb the essence of the infused cores, subtly retaining the aroma which could mix with new scents if changed frequently. This approach ensures purity of flavor and enhances the overall sensory enjoyment of your YOKU stick.
