These little RyJs are a perfect morning or pre-dinner cigar, these are type of vitola is I started my cigar journey some 22+ years ago. I wouldnt contemplate lighting one of these little chaps until they have passed their 3rd box date birthday!
The flavour of these cigars really improves with age, the review cigar here is box date 2008 and they are smoking really well now. I always have at least two boxes in my aging humidor and this is the cigar I would give to someone new to cigars to get them thinking about aging (Id get them to try a younger one and an aged one for comparison)
Im sure the aging improves the draw on these, the flavours are mild to medium I find them floral and woody with a coffee and slight leather on the finish, this is not a super complex cigar but a great 40 minutes of smoking pleasure, if your thinking of getting some of these, get an aged one if you can, if not age it yourself and you will be rewarded of your patience!

Despite some varying views this remains a favourite of mine which Ive enjoyed at home & several times when Ive been in Cuba. The Cubans themselves regard this as one of their top rums & take great pleasure when you order this from a bar The tasting notes are everything as described. Personally I like it with ice & wouldnt dream adding a mixture though some do. Highly recommended.

Never had one until last week. Wow! One of if not the best cigars Ive ever smoked. Draw was absolutely perfect. Lovely and loose. Burn and construction was also perfect. Taste was excellent and rich. Tasted a bit like Punch cigar proile to start with for me, with sweet hazelnuts, treacle and vanilla but then develops a bit and gets a bit more bitter flavours with coffee, oak and spice. Sounds weird but it almost had a slight colone type scent and taste but in a nice way! I also found the scent in the air to have an almost wood campfire type scent which I found pleasantly suprising. This cigar would be the perfect cigar for smoking after eating some fine red meat BBQd on the campfire while watching the sunset on a summers evening after a days hunting. For the price these are exceptional. In my opinion not quite as tasty as a Cohiba robusto but only by a whisker and for pretty much half the price!

This is a lovely cigar. I would have given it 5 stars, however the first part was clogged, and the wrapper also peeled off while smoking which caused some difficulties. If those two things didn’t happen, it would been ideal. Also didn’t give me cigar sickness which is always a massive plus.

Horrible construction. The draw was as tight as it could be- had to use my Perfect Draw multiple times. Had an uneven draw, went out twice and by the middle, it completely fell apart. Maybe I was unlucky, but it was not a good smoking experience.
