anacostiakat Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Had my first one of these this past Saturday night at a local cigar club meeting from a group buy of '04 vintage. Lots of smoke from this one. Perfect construction, good draw and burn. Never having had one I was a little surprised as I didnt expect it to be on the full side. Very flavorful. Leathery/earthy and some sweetness. I found it to be somewhat different than the Churchills I have had although they were much older. Went very well with a Bookers bourbon I was hving and I was able to grab a few more before leaving for the night. I would get more of these.
manny816 Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 I am currently smoking my way through a box from 98. They are smoking very, very well. I also have a cab from 05 that I will wait a bit before touching. I did not find the 98 to be strong. They may have mellowed out with age.
Mel Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 I just got a cab from Czar and like them a lot, not sure of the year code but they are at least a couple years old. Can I ask please without causing offense, how are the 04 called vintage? What is the general standard for calling cigars vintage?

1f1fan Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 The Exh #4 are one of my favorite in the RyJ line, great cigar.

Smokin Bulldog Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 This is one of my favorite Habanos I have smoked.
El Presidente Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I find them to be the sweetest of all the R&J line. Combine that to a medium-full body and you have a cracker of a cigar.
SmokinLightning Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I have a handfull of these left from '98 that I picked up on a group buy last year... great smokes.
