RyJ Petite Royales LAT JUN 19 (FreeSep24)

On a kick enjoying my cigars next to the river as of late. Been a nice place to relax and enjoy a good smoke. These are a nice quick smoke that offers a nice fruity profile compared to my normal Partagas shorts or Bolivar offerings.

Draw is perfect. Find this usually is the case with these larger ring petites compared to the often tight 42's. Cold draw offers sweet berries and hay. 

Flavors very much follow the cold draw. The berry/cherry sweetness is apparent along with a nice charred wood flavor. Almost reminds me of cherry wood smoke BBQ in a way. 

My wife who smokes the occasional cigar said the smoke smelled very good and wanted a try. To her the flavors apparently tasted like cigarettes. Oh well, one less box I'll have to share with her. 😆

90 pts.

Nice review of a cigar that has become a favourite of mine too.

This is right outside Downingtown PA. About half a mile upstream is a trout hatchery where they stock this stream from. I’ll grab some pics next time I’m out there.

It looks like trout water!
