R&J Exhibicion #4s


Recommended Posts

I have always been a fan of the R&Js and recently placed an order for the aged #4s dating 2002. I have been somewhat dissapointed with their flavor or lack there of. I have smoked three so far and there seems to be some inconsistencies with their taste. I don't know if it is just me, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience with them. There also seems to be holes that go through the ash when burnt, almost if someone drilled a small hole?

Thanks for your feedback!

I can't comment on the Ex No.4, but I have had cigars with the aforementioned hole.

They tend to run the length of the cigar, and while you may have a good draw,

usually there will be little smoke volume.

We never did come to a conclusion, but I'd have to believe it a construction flaw.

You may be right. I smoked one tonight that sat out overnight and all day that was much better. It also burned better and was more firm. I truly enjoyed this one while sitting on my porch watching my bird dogs run around with my son's BB gun at my side, protecting the house;-)

2002 did not produce "generally" powerhouse cigars. The R&J Exhibicion no 4 from this year is light to medium bodied but should produce some lovely charred cherry and cream notes. Do us a favour. Take one out and "dry box" it until Saturday (ie...in a desktop humidor without humidification...or just on your desk) and provide us with a full review. I would like to read it :-)

You got it! It's my anniversary too. Maybe I will even get lucky.
