RyJ Churchill - UEB Jun 19 (CRW)

[zigarrenziggy]

This is my 5th out of a quarter box procured through 24:24. They’ve been in the humidor since February, so while not aged, definitely well rested. 
 

The scent is mild tobacco and some sweetness off of the wrapper and foot. The cigar starts out relatively uninspired, with no truly discernible flavors, but that changes about 1/2” in. I detect no red fruits/cherries like most RyJ, but there is prominent chocolate and cocoa the length of the stick. Overall there wasn’t much change or complexity, but it was enjoyable. Worthwhile enough to buy more and let age for longer. 90/100

Nice choice, Zig.  Been searching for the dark fruit on R&J myself.  Maybe it's age, luck of the draw, or just missing the placebo effect.  Not that I'm one to ask.  Few R&J's at hand.  Had good ones, but yet to find the Luxardo everyone in the entire CC-smokin' population seems to get.  

Good luck.

@rcarlson agreed. Finding the dark fruit is not for a lack of effort, that's for sure. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to buy more...for research
