RP Reo - Robusto (pics) Review

[Irons]

I must be smoking a lot of bigger sticks, I didn't think this was a robutso. Compliments to my wife for taking most of the pictures.




Prelight didn't give me much to work with. There was just enough resistence, though. I was happy to have that.

Nothing really stuck out for taste. I just tasted good.


I got some sweetness in this. A fruit sweet. Something with dark meat in it.



The ash was decent and held together well. Ashing around each 1/3 marks.

The smoke was thick and plentiful. Loved it! Had a nice smell to it.


And where I left off.



Over all. Decent construction. The cap wasn't pretty, but it did the job. I didn't have an burn issues, draw was ok. Over all the flavor was pretty consistant. Nothing crazy, but consistant. For me that seems to be the going trend with the RP line. They are consistant. I didn't start to get that wierd taste until near the end. I was probably smoking it a little fast, but it's in the 40's here. I could see my breath and it was getting damp.

Have a happy.

Nice review. The RP's are definitely consistent, and construction is usually damn good. I've been wondering about these sticks. You have definitely piqued my interest.

Had my first yesterday; thought it was a great smoke.

Ive got about 50 of these bad boys taking a nap right now in my cooler. I had 2 a few weeks ago, such a great flavor. I grabbed a bunch on deals from CI so got them for under 2$ a smoke.

Has a nice oily, buttery, sweet tastes with some toasty flavors.

Nice review, probably will be my go to stick when mine get more resting.

I really like these as well. Got my first in a bomb and had not heard of it before. have smoked several since and it is very nice.

Thanks for the review... and taking the pic on the John Deere hat really brought out the green in the band!

Nice review.

Looks like the cigar smoked well and produced some good smoke.

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks for the review. I just got a mazo of these today from CI and have them napping in the humi. I finally got quite a few (for a newb) good sticks, but now I have to wait for them to be ready.

Nice review.

PS: Why is there a cracker (looks like a wheat thin) under your John Deere hat in the 1st picture?

Thanks for the kind words guys.

That's my son's hat and his cracker on the kitchen table.
