RyJ Petit Royale SMA JUN 18 (L&SRW1)

[RDB]

This little guy wastes no time at all. Rich! Right from the get go it’s up on its hind legs. Charred red berries. Some oxidative apple flavours? Classic RyJ Middle Eastern spice. Touch of frying fat. Did I say rich? It’s well over medium body, maybe even full. Obviously no evolution in a cigar about two inches long. But very good construction and burn. It’s sort of like being fast forwarded to the last third of a good Churchill. 

Incidentally this is so much better than any of the Monte Media Corona or Upman Half Corona I’ve had. The Monte in particular just have not brought the Monte game. Whereas this is like Romeo in espresso form.

Score strong 1 on the binary scale (1/0).

This really sums it up for me.   I'm not a massive R&J fan,.  But I enjoy the sweet exotic rose water side, of the EX4 and the dark jammy side of the Cazzie.   For me the Royale marries those two profiles together so well.  A cracking little cigar

Great review! I think you have to edit in (L&SRW1) into the title to enter the competition?

Love these little guys although the price is laughable unless you catch them on a rare sale.
