I chanced on these cigars when holidaying this summer in Turkey. These are nice and mild cigars and a good cheap entry level cigar for me as a beginner. A good draw lasts 45 mins to an hour and produces lots of smoke. The ash stacks nice even. I will be buying more of these considering the price.

Im new to Cigar smoking and thought Id experiment smoking different cigars. I bought 2 of these and was hugely disappointed. I know it is not a top end Cigar by no stretch of the imagination, but I thought for the Money spent it would at least light properly and stay lit. The wrapper unravelled on both almost immediately. Then there was the draw, I spent that much time trying to get a draw from it that eventually it just tasted sour, the cigar was wrapped so tightly. You live and learn and maybe its my inexperience that is an issue. I bought some Guantanemera Crystales for half the price and they smoked really well and were nice and mild for a beginner, produced nice smoke and never unravelled.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Tomasz
I am a newbie cigar enthusiast. Having just smoked this cigar, accompanied by Kraken Rum, I can say I enjoyed it. Really delicate, smooth, and it seem to have revealed more taste as it progressed, which I found very enjoyable. Draw was very nice and smooth as well. Took approximately 30min. I think, though, I prefer fuller taste, hence 4 stars. Worth trying.

Having bough a few more of these, I can only sum this cigar up in one word - inconsistent.
Some cigars are really nice, some are revolting. Some burn evenly, some dont. Some are really hot and harsh, some arent.
In summary, youre either getting one of the nicest cigars youll ever smoke (especially for the price), or one of the worst cigars youll ever smoke.

My first RyJ.....and Im really not impressed, possibly the hardest draw Ive ever experienced and Im struggling to give any positive feedback as Im finding it hard to get ANY smoke out of it. I had punched the end and thought it was that,so tried a straightforward cut across the cap,but its still like trying to suck a golf ball through a straw!! The only saving grace is that I didnt spend my own money on it...but I wont be in any rush to try any other ryjs after this...Tempted to put it out and light up another one, Cubans best my a**e, give me new world any day!
