RyJ Churchill GEL JUN 20 (JBWP5RW)

[Rhinoww]

Beautiful night. Wife was out w her girlfriends so I thought I’d settle in to watch USvCostaRica soccer. Why not have a stick. Why not go w a Churchill. Heck, why not revisit RyJ, a marca that is somewhat light in my portfolio 

cigar has a nice light sheen. V cut. Looking over the stick though I found a small split in the wrapper. Uh oh. I was wondering if the split would require me to keep my finger over it or use the band there. Turns out the draw was not impacted at all. 
The cigar started off with some very thick smoke and boy was it a cherry bomb.  Those flavors leveled off towards the middle where some dark chocolate appeared. 

two other things happened around the middle of this stick. It started to rain - no issues as I was under cover. But it was humid. 
the other thing that happened cut short my recollection of further significant changes in taste. Two buddies showed up and we opened a bottle of willet rye. I will leave it that one friend had his wife drive him home and he picked his car up after noon today. We, uh, were distracted but I recall saying that I enjoyed the cigar. 
I am not typically much of a RyJ guy, or so I thought until I took a look at my inventory spreadsheet. Turns out the marca represents about 8% of my stash, which was higher than anticipated. After smoking this Churchill I’m glad to have a few boxes resting. 
what do they say, variety is the spice of life?
