piramides are my fav shape of cigars and this is 1 of the best by far. It is a big, busty, Beautiful brute. Perfectly constructed, smooth, strong and tasty. Great burn. It took me over an hour and a half to smoke with a bottle of Glayva. Perfect.

I was a bit miffed at the shape and size of this cigar. Although it was a bit tight at the start it did begin to get a good draw part of the way down. I was surprised at how long it lated as it is so small. It was nice and earthy and surprisinglynstrong. A good little number for walking about.

It would have to be a coin toss for me to choose between this cigar and the partagas no2 as my favorite piramides. Strong, creamy, sweet and pungent. Just the way I like it.

I was realy looking forward to this cigar because of its price, shape and gauge. It is a bit too mellow for me, it did have a good even burn but a strange tase towards the end.

I have conflicting opinions about the No 1. I bought one on the off chance after enjoying the R+J No 3 and I was bitterly disappointed. As Adrian's comments below: the cigar tunneled; it wouldn't stay lit for any more than a minute; and after an initial good earthy taste, it then tasted of hot, burning charcoal just 1/4 or so into it. So imagine my apprehension when I received 3 of these as a gift. After making my excuses of how these cigars improve with age, I eventually found myself in a position when I had to smoke one. And it was an absolute revelation! It was everything it should have ever been. That earthy creaminess remained through the whole cigar, accompanied with changing undertones of coffee, chocolate, spice and even a hint of vanilla. I never had to re-light. The draw was (literally) breathtaking.
So I find myself at somewhat of odds. I'm now onto the third of my three and they have been fantastic. But that first one still leaves doubt. My advice is definitely give the R+J No 1 a chance - but if you're looking for consistent quality, just be aware that these may disapp

It was the £7.99 price point which originally got me interested in this little gem. Then I read the reviews and thought "why the devil not?". The best decision I've ever made. The No 3 has such a good, even, consistent burn with a delicate aroma of spiced wood. There are so many different flavours (hints of coffee, chocolate, burnt oak; and even just a suggestion of spiced plum) all competing, yet none of them seem to overpower the other. The only disappointment for me was the fact that it was over so soon! But at £7.99 the next euphoric hit won't be far away!
A brilliant little cigar, very very highly recommended!
