Review Notes: Very nice smoke for the price

Review Notes: got a box of these with a rebate from j.r. about 6 months ago. pre light appearance very good. lit well and burn is perfect. the blend offers a smooth balance with some pepper at the beginning but the 56 ring permits a smooth and complex smoke almost from the beginning. the flavor improves and the body becomes somewhat stronger to the more full side of medium full. the wrapper also adds to the party, offering a slight tang which complements the filler. the cigar never got bitter even when nubbed. my favorite RyJ; i'm looking forward to seeing how these age.

Review Notes: Have smoked a couple now, one with burn problems. Like the size, solid construction with an oily wrapper and nice draw. First third was pepper and spice with wood and earth, the second third added cocoa and some hints of coffee. The final third had the burn problems, touched it up once or twice, then it went out, and that was that. Paired alright with morning coffee, though it’s stronger than it gives off, which is another reason I didn’t finish it. Will try another one some afternoon, maybe with a cold beer.

Review Notes: twas awful. Bad burn coupled with hardcore tunneling made this an awful experience. Smoke a Romeo Museum Edition instead if'n you want a frickin' awesome romeo product.

Review Notes: I've had the robusto, toro and belicoso. The robusto had a crazy hard draw, but a good taste. The belicoso seemed to have an odd shape compared to other belicoso's I've had, and felt funny in my hand. Both tasted fine, and except for the little oddities, they were good. The Toro, though, is in league apart from the others. I agree with standingstones, this is really a superb cigar. Even smoked right out of the tobacconist's shop, these really are incredible, and for this price, what could you possibly hope for. The robusto burns better than the toro, but that's the only benefit it has over any of the others. 1st 1/3: A slight citrus note, but primarily wood and a bitter coffee taste 2nd 1/3: Cocao and Coffee with a hint of wood prevails, but one of the main tastes has a distinct creaminess. This is exactly what I look for. 3rd 1/3, or 1/3^2 :) : Spice notes start to become more apparent, and the woodiness becomes stronger, close to or equal the cocao creaminess.
