kuma Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have a friend traveling to Europe and asked him if he comes across any of these three marcas to to give me a "heads up" and I will tell him what to pickup for me, a box of each. So my question for FOH members has smoked any of these marca? RyJ Capuleto Lim. Ed. 2016 53x153mm box of 25 Cohiba Medio Siglo 52x102mm box of 25 Malecon Re. Ed. Andorra 2015 55x130mm box of 20 Any input would be of greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebrum Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I smoked some Cohiba Medio Siglos and some Capuletos. The Medio Siglo is a rather overpriced stubby stick. The ones I smoked were very well made but lack typical grassiness. I´m just looking at my notes: suprisingly spicy/toasty, dry woody notes, no grassiness, very creamy/oily. High aging potential. However they were really fresh when I smoked them. Till now, there are good but there a better sticks in the brand. RyJ Capuletos are -imoh- quite typical RyJ, which is atypical for a limitada. However if you´re a RyJ guy, I´m quite sure you will like them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Smoked all three. Medio Siglo: there is no reason for its existence - buy any other Siglo for less money. RyJ Capuleto. The good: doesn't taste like the generic LE chocolate of recent years. The bad: why pay $20/stick when you can get any number of RyJ for $10/stick. The Malecon are absolutely outstanding. I don't like the vitola but the taste is so fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuma Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks Cerebrum and Lotusguy, Not what I expected to here. I guess I had higher expections but I guess that is more insight then I started with. Yes do like most RyJ's and I'd rather pay 10.00 a stick. Good to hear your thought on the Medio Siglo Lotusguy. I do have the reg. Siglo's so I guess I'll pass unless I can get some signals if they sell these that way. Cao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
