I am extremely surprised at the positive reviews on this stick as, to be quite honest, it is one of the worst I have ever smoked.
Bought 2 based on previous reviews and was tempted to give the second away based on the first experience.
Almost unshakable due to such a tight draw and was forced to use a draw tool which, at first made a reasonable difference however was then let down by the uneven burn and poor construction.
Couldnt smoke the second half due to so many air holes so binned it.
Cant comment on the flavours as the poor smoke didnt really allow for a proper smoking experience. I hope the second stick is able to offer something better but to be honest, i can see it sitting in the humidor for some time before i brave that experience again

Genuinely remarkable cigar, one of the best I’ve ever had. Deep, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, toasted cedar, leather and a few bursts of citrusy freshness midway through. Absolutely breathtaking.

An absolute delight. I cut it in half as it looked like a big smoke, but ended up smoking both halves back to back (!) as it burned down very quickly, which was a surprise. This didnt detract from the great pleasure. Fabulous draw - I could just put my lips to this thing and get tons of lovely smoke. Taste is balanced, woody (I think- my tasting notes skills are poor) and a bit creamy. I smoke NUBs and Hoyo Epicures and Fuentes. This definitely measures up to them. Will def re-purchase!

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!

Brought these for my wedding and overall I was disappointed , although they was a smooth smoke , they were very bland , the leaf just had a little sweet taste at its best

I had five of these sticks sat in my humidor for approx ten months before finally lighting one up. I have now smoked four of them and one was very good, one was good and two were really poor. The two poor sticks had very tight draws and the wrapper began crumbling and falling away as I reached half way. I did really enjoy the stick that behaved itself all the way down to the last draw, but I do think there are many better value for money cigars out there. I have one left and have my fingers crossed it is a good one.
