bigkev Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Twain Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 My box is from 1999 and they are superb. Somtimes they need a little more time to settle in your humidor, and perhaps at a lower humidity. Let them rest for a while and see how they do.

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;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 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 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
