RyJ Coronitas en Cedro or RyJ Sports Largos?

[Geo17pip]

What is your experience with these and which would you choose over the other and why?

Both are cheap and cheerful and small for the coming fall months so I'm looking to stock up.

[Maplepie]

Get some other small ones.

I simply refuse to buy 75% of the RyJ line in hopes that Habanos will start discontinuing them.

Exceptions to this (for me) are the:

RyJ Tubos series, RyJ Churchill, RyJ Petit Julieta, and ones I'm too lazy to remember.

Why what is wrong with them? What other skinny small cigars are you guys smoking? I've pretty much tried all the PC's and party shorts type cigars. What else is there hmmm

[CaptainQuintero]

The coronitas are great as are the cedro #3, chewy fruity smokes if that makes sense. The sport largos have an awesome name though decent smoke too but more to the herbal/floral side of RyJ to me, depends which you prefer.

The RyJ 'cheapies' are what essentially keeps HSA in businesses, they are the mainstay cigar across Europe, they wont be going anywhere.

While I don't have an opinion on the Sports Largo because I've yet to try one, I find the Coronitas to be one of the few RyJ that are really good fresh (ROTT). I also enjoy the Mille Fluers, but find these need a lil more time to get good.

I will be picking up some Cedros #3 now, based on Captain Q's recommendation. Thanks!

[Geo17pip]

Cool thanks guys. I went with some Punch Petit Tubos but im still looking for a good RYJ to add to the collection. The tubos no. 1's were good.

Always have a special place in my heart (and my coolerdors) for RyJ Coronitas en Cedro and RyJ Romeo No. 2 tubos. Current boxes I have in there are 2006 and/or 2008, and smoking amazingly well for such an inexpensive cigar.

CQ hit the nail on the head - Coronitas en Cedro have a strong stewed-cherries fruitiness to them, and these type of lines are definitely staples on the "non-premium" market worldwide. Helps to steadily pay the bills for other products/lines.

Am I the only FOH member who wish there was a 12:12 with Party mille fleurs, RyJ coronita en cedros and PL montecarlo? That would be sweet

No, sir, you are not! Throw in the RyJ MF and I think we could start a revolution!

[Smallclub]

I have smoked hundreds of the cheap RyJ. The Sport Largos was one of my "quick after lunch smoke" when I was working in Paris.

They can be good, but they can be a bit agressive as well. Depends on the batch. They're quite popular in France.

The Romeo No.3 A/T and No.2 A/T are more reliable, which is a bit surprising given they're produced in huge quantities.

Recently got a box of Coronitas en cedro and they are good so far!

Also depends on how you approach them Frank. Slow an' easy on a sunny afternoon and the RyJ SL is a lovely smoke. However the cheapie I really lament the passing of was the Partagas Princess .... simply superb and not to be found now anywhere!

[ksblazer]

I've tried a few of the RyJ cheapies and they Mille Fleurs were my favorites. If you can try and find a box of the early 2013's. They were great. The way they smoked/tasted you would never guess they were a 2nd tier cigar.

[Professor Twain]

The Coronitos en Cedro #3 has become a favorite. I agree that these smoke great ROTT. I get more of a pepper flavor, full bodied. I've stocked up on these. I've never smoked the Sport Largos.

I had stayed away from RJ for several years, but these have brought me back.

[skarolla]

I've always liked the R&J coronitas en cedro and its a great one to have on hand for non-smokers as everyone seems to love the mild taste. It's the stick that got me started as well

I haven't tried the other so I can't compare directly unfortunately.

R&J Coronitas En Cedro are probably the best bang for your buck smoke in the Habanos lineup. Consistently well constructed and flavorful, they are a wonderful. Have one after a damn good burger and fries. Enjoy!

[Hunter1974]

how do these differ from a No 1,2 and 3 tubo

[atlharp]

CnC's tend be similar to the Romeo 2 in length with a ring gauge of 39 instead of 42.

I have enjoyed a few coronitas en cedro as well as the mille fleurs. This thread resurfacing inspired me to smoke my sole sport largos, glad it did. It has been resting in the humidor for 3 or 4 years and was always passed over for others. I really enjoyed the smoke and the experience as I sat in the shade by the pool on a pleasant 72 degree afternoon. Enjoyed familiar RyJ flavors as well as some nice floral (not perfumed), pepper without the cherry (just as capt. mentioned) that I really enjoy in some RyJ favorites. Perfect amount of nicotine for noon-time.

This smoke would benefit from a couple more years for my taste as I think it would round out a couple of the rough patches. The smoke lasted 40 minutes at my pace and at the price, a box will most likely go into deep sleep for the next 6-8 years.

Had a cornitas but was less than impressed even for the price. Just my .02 though.

[Hunter1974]

Just ordered a box !
