This is going to be short (hopefully) and to the point. I did a review on the 3000M and enjoyed it. I cannot say the same for this stick.

First off, it didn't smell too great to me. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't pleasant. It cut well, but I thought the construction was a couple steps below the 3000, which is to be expected I suppose since it is a step below in their line of smokes. A couple lumps and a few soft spots.

It didn't taste bitter per say, jsut not to my liking. I tried to get something from it be letting a bit through my nose, but it just wasn't there. Perhaps it was too mild to me, I'm not sure. The burn was good, nice and even. The ash was very fragile however, which is not good for the bowling alley.

All in all, I say buy the 3000M instead, the price difference is worth it. however I'd take the RP Edge over both of these for roughly the same cost, if not a little cheaper.
