Supposedly they are a collaboration between Lars and his brother and were originally called Acid Rain until Acid sued. Many think they are reminiscent of early Lars. I bought a box of Freedoms and H2O's. The freedoms were disappointing, very light weight and burned hot. The H2O's were better more like a Musashi 69. I won't be buying any more unless the H2O gets better with age, I was a let down just like I was with Acid.
