RyJ Short Churchill MSA MAY 18 (RyJRW)

[MigsG]

This Short Churchill is all nutty, light fruity undertones and milk chocolate to my palate. It's still young so I can see it developing the rich RyJ flavors over time.

However, it was still delightful, and my palate was greatly aided by the orange juice in identifying some of these flavors already present.

I highly recommend this as a smooth, daytime smoke. Medium bodied, medium flavor.

I was able to sample this thanks to @slowsmoke.

Good short review!

Glad you are enjoying them!  I had one last week, first half was excellent, light, nutty, a hint of cherry or some ripe fruit.  Then at the half way point it tunneled so bad, so fast, couldn't be saved.  It had a very nice light draw, so I guess it was just underfilled.

Great review! Haven't had one of these in awhile. Does anyone know what factory MSA is? Just out of curiosity. Because MSU is Partagas.

That's too bad.  This one burned great all the way.  True, this had a wide open draw. I smoked it very very slowly and it lasted a good 50 mins.  It was just one of those perfect cigar days, low humidity, not breezy, everything working just right.

just picked up some from 24:24!  I'm going to try a young one right off the bat, but whats the optimal age for these would you say?

I've never had any older than this 2018.  Some years no doubt, but why not smoke one every month or so, by 6 months you'll be rewarded with some really great tasting cigars.
