Bought one of these as part of my holiday cigar order. Been meaning to try one for a while so thought were better than on holiday in Crete overlooking the sea drinking a Metaxa .
First impressions, build looks great spot on construction, cap was a little rough looking but cut perfectly the only thing that lets the look of these down is the slightly budget looking band, but I am not smoking the band so no big deal. Draw was good and flavor was decent for the price. It has some great reviews, some of which are slightly over generous but then it is following last nights Drew Estate Kuba Kuba which is a tough act to follow so maybe I am expecting too much.
I would say at under a tenner this cigar is an awesome achievement a very decent smoke and overall construction was excellent. If I buy more it will be with the view of storing them longer term with something with a kick to see if I can impart an added dimension to the flavor. If this was over a tenner it would have got 4 out of five , as it is I think its a no brainer . Fill the humidor for a cheap pleasant smoke and have a pla

Having tried the smaller atom several months back and adored its madness I decided to purchase one of these as part of my holiday cigar order.
They smell amazing same hippy bong shop smell you get with the atom. The initial sweetness of the cap / wrapper on the lips wasnt as brash as the atom and the whole cigar felt a little more refined and mellow compared to its smaller counterpart. Very enjoyable smoke great construction, draw and burn was perfect. Overall I prefer the Atom for the full force experience and masses of smoke but this definitely has a home in my humidor, it gently imparts its aroma on other less exciting sticks like its trying to encourage them to loosen up and have some fun. Currently my favourite brand.

Fonseca KDT Cadetes Cigar - Box of 25
by Oliver
The most satisfying cigar I have ever had - tantalising complex flavours (earthy, coffee/chocolatety, leathery, gitanes, spicy), moist and creamy, smooth on the throat. Dont need to take out a mortgage to smoke them

first 1/3 was mild, nice and smooth. Spicy kick to the 2/3. 3/3 SPICY BOI! Well built, Only enjoyed more as it progressed. Paired well with my chianti ;) 10/10 will buy again! Smooth finish not at all harsh or stanky. Perfect example of why i enjoy cigars.

The final cigar from my Jack Frost sampler, but not my first ever RyJ. Smoked this in two halves. The first half I smoked left me a bit bored and disappointed, I couldn’t really identify any flavours, was mostly just a smooth, creamy smoke. Not unpleasant by any means, just somewhat uneventful. However the second half, the following day, was a delight :S really rich, spicy and woody... I’ve smoked a dozen or so Cubans now and, so far, maybe it’s just me but, unless it’s an astonishing cigar, the spicy, earthy flavours never kick in until about halfway down the cigar. This one was typical of that along with the Jose L Piedra Cazadores cigar which also left me cold until the halfway mark, and then turned beautiful! I’ve never aged a cigar as I’m yet to purchase a humidor so perhaps with age flavours develop and present immediately on lighting up the cigar, I don’t know... This was a good cigar but I will sample other Cuban brands before returning to RyJ, I think they’re maybe a touch over-hyped. I find Montecristo’s richer in flavour and complexity.
