Hello again all, Have any of you folks tried these? Where do these fall on the $/R.P. scale?

Lets start by saying that I have seen them on "sale" on a few sites. I smoked one last year (robooosto size).I like Fuentes, but IMHO this line fell short on flavor. I recall it being rather bland, one dimensional, mild to medium smoke with a bit of a burnt taste (dry). Not worth the money to me. I usually like to sample more than one but I never got around to another on of these.

I got the Churchill for about $6 and the Robusto for about $5.50 in April. This is a mild cigar, no complexities, even burn, nice construction, easy draw.

Forgot to mention that I think that A. Fuente discontinued this line, that's what I heard, but I could be wrong.
