I do like it, it is hot but not too hot for me; the peppers are very well placed and are just right in my opinion. The cheese flavor does indeed shine through, but it is not like the Monterey MontereyJack that I am familiar with. It's Its pretty great though, but don't buy it if you don't enjoy heat! It ain't nuclear, but it is definitely not for the faint hearted!
