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.

I had to get this after reading all the positive reviews, but this cigar is definitely not for me.
The build quality was great and the cigar itself was very attractive. It lit and burned well also. However, the taste was very dry and bitter, and it definitely didnt feel like a light cigar. My living room stank of this not-so-pleasant smell for 3-4 days when normally the smell clears within 48 hours. The draw was far too easy for me, like sucking through a straw.
Im no cigar expert but this is one of my least favourite cigars by far.

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.

I’m not a football man, but today’s euphoria at England’s win against Sweden sucked me in enough to want to celebrate with a nice cigar. I’d had a crack at a Quintero Favoritos earlier in the evening, which promised more than it ended up delivering.
The RG Perlas is happily a different matter altogether. Beautifully constructed, I’m guessing box pressed, as mine has slightly square shoulders, but flawless is every way.
Aromas before lighting it came across well with a sweetness that makes you want to taste it even more.
The draw unlit wasn’t tight but required more effort than say a robusto or similar gauge. Once lit though, there is enough smoke there to negate any need for an easier draw. Burn was near perfect all the way through and it holds its ash really well.
In the first few draws the sweetness is prominent, but settles down to become the underpinning of other flavours. There is hay, nuts and maybe even a hint of spice there, perhaps a hint of toasted coffee or dark chocolate too, maybe even a bit of nutmeg? It starts milder and gets stronger as it goes, but ne
