Popular Post Chas.Alpha Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 Again, I missed out on the 2020 Christmas sampler. This is one from a similar batch that I got in Havana last year... 1st 3rd: Woody and cherry smoke, light to medium. I can tell that this is a cigar that wants to take me on a journey... 2nd half: This doesn’t build like I would expect it to, still light to medium flavor and strength. Nothing bad, just nothing to get excited about. 3rd: A beautiful box, I hope these will have more snap to them in another year. Pleasant. Woody, Cherry and an earthy tone. I look forward to the next one, but I won’t be rushing out to get another box. 88-89 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarlson Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I've had a similar experience with the RJ Churchills I got late last year (EUB FEB 19). Just okay. Never get past mild to medium strength and body, not much development. Keep waiting for them to take off but never do. However, I have found that mine improve a lot the longer they rest. Maybe there's hope. As for cherry, I've never gotten it from any RJ. Ever. Light milk and honey, but there is no cherry -- or any other damn fruit in RJ. Same disappointment I had with Fruit Loops as a kid, now with RJ as an adult. Cherry It's a myth. A conspiracy. Mass psychosis. It's all a lie. And I'm going to expose it! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible mass hysteria, but it should be considered that I eat A LOT of cherries when they're in season! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
