RyJ PC vs MF vs RdL

[cakeanddottle]

I need to order a box of Ex.4, but I also like the smaller sticks. Of the three I name in the title, do you guys have any strong feelings about one over the others? If I could get and fruit and coffee in a smaller RyJ I'd be thrilled, do any of these qualify? Just by going off all the old threads I would lean toward the PC, but I'd love to hear opinions. Thanks!

I can only speak to the PC. Haven't smoked the others. The PC have surprised the hell out of me. A quality smoke; middleweight; a streak of mellow spice; consistent perfect construction. May 15 boxes ready right now. I'm loving them.

Fruit and coffee makes me think of the PC, while the MF makes me think more of floral cake and less fruit.

With that said, the PC seem to need some time to age, like the Petit Coronas of other marcas (PL, HU, RG, etc.), otherwise they are overly youthful (tannins and ammonia). The MF are ready much sooner - sometimes needing only to acclimate to the humidor.

I am currently weighing the same question. PC or ML or maybe Ex 3.

Im probably just going to buy a couple of each and see which I like before making the decision on a box.

Regarding the PC, MF and RdL, I like and smoke them all but I've had the most construction issues with the Regalias de Londres.

A lot of them have been too tight, bordering on plugged.

The best value to me is the MF. Same issues as Dan w/ construction and consistency with the RdLs and I've never liked the PC blend. Odd and never consistent. Too many duds. The MFs seem to be the most reliable and the price is certainly right.
