I finished off the last 3rd for her, and thought it was ok. That's prolly not the best review to go on

I guess what I'm trying to say is for 2.50/stick you can get an idea of some RP cigars. Go for it.

I have to agree. The Fusion DC (barber pole) is a step above a really good garage or yard gar, the regular Fusion (blue label) has Habano in it and I don't care for that taste. The Fusion MM is a step above the DC, but neither are near the 90's or 92's. If you're looking for a good maduro, Sancho Panza Double Maduro and Camacho Triple Maduro are better choices for a little bit more cash.

RP's definately make the grade for a very well hand rolled stick on the cheap.
