asmith Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 A cigar that can be good and can be terrible, what did the guys get this time?
CaptainQuintero Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Love the neapolitan ice cream comment, and the fact it's you guy's dress code for the video!
CanuckSARTech Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 So.....the language laws are lifted then???
El Presidente Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 So.....the language laws are lifted then??? I haven't seen the vid as yet but I would have hoped that "Editor Smithy" beeped out any offending sections. it is hard to get good help
brazoseagle Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I've got to get some more of these! Being able to just email Di with orders = CRACK! Genius Marketing!!!
El Presidente Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Great and funny review as usual. Wasn't Monte A's turn? Just need to find the time Hovy....The Monte A is a 2-3 hr commitment...and if it is off I couldn't put up with Kens whinging for that period of time
ramon_cojones Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 SCs were one of the first CC boxes I bought in 09 and they were green and tannic for awhile. Eventually though the flavor started coming through and it was such a good coffee creamy lush smoke, I was sad when I smoked the last few with my coffee on saturday mornings. I always liked the cigars and then started hearing about all the misses so I stayed away just like my beloved famosos that became excellent. Rob find me some famosos dammit.
Ken Gargett Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 as for editing language, given the amount of drivel of his own that he left in, hard to see him getting anything else right. and 2-3 hours with yourself? what makes you think we'd find that a bowl of cherries? have you never wondered why bruce immediately goes on the machine as soon as you arrive? listen to you? listen to bruce? it isn't a coin toss.
NJP Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks again gents. I rarely do R&J but I might just have a little look at a red stumpy.

That has April 1st written all over it, we could see FOH's first ever storm off the set by Ken!
isa Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Good to know that you guys had some great R & J short churchills - great review, thanks BTW, were these from a HQ or PSP box?
Orion21 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I can attest to the reddish wrappers making a difference. I had an AST OCT 09 box with wrappers that color and two boxes of 10 without. The red wrapper cigars were 92-97 point smokes and the 6 out of the other 2 boxes that were just a light Colorado have been average. The 97 pointer has been the best Robusto I have smoked to date. Rob e-mail incoming because I would like a box of 25 with those specific wrappers.
mazolaman Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I must have been lucky. I had a box of 10, that had the darker wrapper, with a bronze sheen. From Aug 11, they were lovely cherry medium smokes, perfectly rolled. Posted this somewhere else, while everyone was canning R Y J, not for the first time I was swimming against the tide, so glad you chaps got some good ones, as the last of these and the cazadores I had recently were excellent.. BTW looking svelte there Roberto!
riazp Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 First thing I noticed, Rob is taking the fat bastard comp seriously! the RyJ SC is probably the only RyJ I enjoy. Nice review gents.
Lotusguy Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks for the review! They have always been a solid performer for me and I've gone through several boxes over the years. I've always been lucky with the cigars having that reddish wrapper so that makes sense then. 2nd best of the lineup IMO behind the Cazadores.
winelover Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I've had just one in a tube and it was awful. I like the RyJ black cherry and loved the petit pyramides from 03. Not really had any good ones since. Will have to try the SC again sometime.
TexAg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Well you sure got me laughing. I will definitely be picking up some of these!
CanuckSARTech Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I haven't seen the vid as yet but I would have hoped that "Editor Smithy" beeped out any offending sections. it is hard to get good help LOL. Hope harder. Lucas or Spielberg he is not. Good showing though.
Ken Gargett Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 house on wheels? must be too early. i am missing something?
asmith Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 BTW looking svelte there Roberto! Longer hair, soft focus and over sized shirts makes him look slimmer
Scdalak Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Finally some justice for the cigar I have been saying has been my most consistent in the last 12-14 months, so happy you guys did this review, R & J Shorts rock! Lets pray they can keep it up.
amosnaim Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 great review as always. as for myself, i havent smoked a good SC yet. was this a PSP/HQ box? does it need to be a PSP level to get the reddish hue wrapper you are referring to? cheers
