The deep dive on these steered me away from grabbing some. What’s your opinion on them if you’ve had any?

I've not had one before. I really enjoy the RyJ Ex No.4 and the Lonsdale is a great size, hoping to see that RyJ DNA in a more pronounced form. 

They seem to have their fans, I'm sure someone might be able to chime in with something more useful to say.

It's one of my favorite CCs, I don't see much RyJ DNA in them but given I'm not a fan it's a good thing. It's a very flavorful cigar, pretty powerful too for a CC. 

One of the very few I would light up outdoors without a second thought.

Just picked these up. Really stoked.

Don’t recall the deep dive on these but am surprised to read this as this is an almost universally loved cigar. So much is unique and wonderful about my beloved Cazadores. It’s one of the very few Lonsdales left in the Habanos portfolio. It’s quite unique in flavor and strength. Plus, it comes wrapped in foil so you have that unique cool factor. Leave them in their foil wrap for even 5 years and you’re in for a treat. For me, sometimes only a Cazzy will do.

Now I’m second guessing myself lol, I should go back and read the comments left on deep dive but I’m pretty sure it was about the Cazadores.

Just read the deep dive. Lots of love but surprising to me there were more than a few detractors. I think many don’t like them young as they are unlike almost any other Cuban and tend to be in your face strong. They mellow a bit and develop so nicely with age though. Smoked a few from ‘99-‘03 this year and all were brilliant.

Exactly what I was doing at the same time 😂🤣

I totally agree, they are one-of-a-kind in HSA's portfolio and still one of the best value for money, to me it's a no brainer.

Yes I saw a lot of comments that said they were punchy and strong and pretty straight in terms of flavor. I’m gonna have to rethink now lol. Maybe I’ll have to just age 'em.

Try one fresh on a full stomach. Try another in a few years and you won’t believe the difference. Cheers!

I didn't go crazy in here. I just bought some Davidoffs that the manager said were exclusive to the Geneva store. Also bought a small box of D4's, and one of the latest Gold Medals.
