Belltownhound Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hey all, I've been fairly committed in my limited cigar endeavors to RyJ Short Church, Party shorts and Bolivar PCs. I want to branch out and try a few fruity and a few vegetal sticks and would love any advice. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astar20 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Fruity would be RASS, mag 46 or SLR regio Vegetal would be any Cohiba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskol Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 RASS, LGC No. 4 SLR Regios & JL2 if you like orange peel kinda flavors.. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Fruity and vegetal automatically goes Romeo y Julieta to me although it depends what fruit you're after. RyJ has a sliding scale of cherry/berry/jam and herbal/vegetal along with the sweet woods/coffee. I'd recommend exploring the line as they all offer a different balance/ratio of the above. The Short Churchill is one of the less vegetal to my tastes, I'd probably start with the older blends so the exhibicion no.3 / no.4, the Belicosos, Cazadores, the Petit Corona/Corona/Tres Petit Corona if you can find them. The newer releases (Short, Wide, Petit Churchills etc) seem to me to be blended more away from the herbal/vegetal side and towards the sweet woods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavLew79 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I find Punch DCs very fruity and always find Diplo 2s quite vegetal/funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarlson Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Absolutely RASS. Agree with 99call on the remainder he listed too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belltownhound Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Thanks everyone for the advice! I'll try all of these!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I think RAS is a little bit more direct in the stonefruit department than RASS and less fickle than RASS. And I think RASCC has always had a distinct herbal/vegetal quality to it. Sounds like all your needs might be met within RA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jal154 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Saint Luis Rey Regios......bigtime for me. And RASS. More so SLR Regios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Get a box of RASS with Colorado or Colorado/claro wrappers. Tons of fruit notes especially in the first half. Dark wrappers on RASS not nearly as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharmacovigilant Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Fruity: LGC4 and SLR Serie A if you can find them (not officially discontinued as far as I know but not commonly available either). Fonseca No. 1 is mix of fruit and floral. Vegetal: Cohiba Siglo 3 or 4. Sorry can’t comment on RASS, never had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldEasy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I wholeheartedly agree with the recommendations for the La Gloria Cubana Medaille D’Or no. 4, both very fruity and a great cigar. JL2 I get more orange creme like one might find in a chocolate than true orange, but still somewhat fruity. Definitely a very good cigar, but not one I have a particular affinity for (unlike the LGC). Only had two RASS and honestly did not get much nuance in flavor from either, probably smoked them too young. In NC’s I really like the Olive Serie V, and find it to have a distinct red wine and leather profile. The Melanio is also quite good though I would not call it fruity and is really a quite different cigar. Most Maduros also tend to have a fruityness to me. The Padron 1926 I tend to get apple or other fruit out of depending on the example. Not much experience with vegetal cigars as the profile generally does not appeal to me, or doesn’t sound appealing so I don’t often go after it. I suppose I do get hay or lemongrass from some cohibas, which I enjoy, but I don’t know if I’d really call those vegetal flavors to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
