El Presidente Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 A new member came into the humidor today (Tony) and he was looking for an upgrade from R&J No 2 Tubos. Smithy is out chasing grass skirt and Lise went home for the day so I put together a decent sampler or Robusto and a couple of RJ CD3. I haven't had one for about 6 months but they looked great and I took one upstairs to to the deck which I am just finishing now. In Summary, what a cracker little cigar. Medium, cedar and lashings of sweet chocolate. It reminded me of why I liked these cigars so much in the late 90's early 200's before poor construction crueled them. Who has smoked one of these lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
android Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Prez I have a excellent box EMA OCT 07 that I have been smoking through. Luv to have them as a mid morning smoke on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've smoked the Cedros De Luxe No. 2 and 3 and enjoyed both of them immensely. They were purchased from Czar. Truly a great little cigar. Very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunburyist Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Not tried any yet. Would you say they had typical RyJ flavour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88keys Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Cedros #3 is one of my favorites. I switched from #1s years ago over draw issues but haven't ever had problems with the #3s. I think they're the best of the series and the only R&J that I really go for. The latest I have are Aug and Nov 06s (still with the old band around the cedar) and they are great. They don't get a lot of love from guys, which I think makes sense since the flavor profile is sort of unusual, but if you like them they're one of the top marevas.

Buch0 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Very underrated cigar to be honest. Have only had a single gifted to me by a mate probably twelve months ago but remember it being subtle spice with touches of mocha which was very pleasant.

bobsled Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Have a few LKV from January 2005 left, they have been stellar. Different than the rest of the RyJ line, but really awesome, rich and tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKA27 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've never tried one but having looked into them now, I will pick up a few singles and give them a go. Look great. PREZ - Are these being discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Not tried any yet. Would you say they had typical RyJ flavour? I am not a huge R&J fan but find these to be rich, sweet, woody. I am not a fan of the cedros Deluxe no 1, the No 2 is not in the same league as the No 3. Revisited another this morning. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never regretted it, very under-rated cigars. Great especially with a bit of age on them. Not a big fan of the 1's or 2's either: The 1's are just bland to my mind.

Alberto_Magnus Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've got a 25-box, code is EPR Abr08 and they smoke fantastic. As Rob said, cedar, sweet notes, like sugarcane. One of my favourite marevas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
