dragon Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I dunno, I tried a couple so far and... A) They didn't really have that EL flavor as far as I could tell, nothing like an old time EL They almost tasted like a fresh RyJ Belicoso but less spicy and more something else C) Somewhat lighter shade wrappers than I've come to expect I still liked them, just not what I was really expecting from this cigar.

Curmudgeon Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 My main impression is that they're short and fat . . . LOL! Seriously, I haven't tried one, so I'll be watching for reviews on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 good info but this is exactly why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. They look good but are they good. I to will also wait for reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevejb Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I like the regular belicosos a lot better. The petit piramides did nothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2advnture Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I didn't care for them but then I didn't like the RyJ Belis either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvm4 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Seemed too harsh and under-developed right now. Might be good given a little time. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 » Seemed too harsh and under-developed right now. Might be good given a little time. :-| Cliff's right. This is not in the 2001 EL class. I rate them somewhere between the 2003 Hermoso #1 and 2004 Hermoso #2 at this time. In other words, OK but nothing to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I also cannot stand the regular belis so I'm staying off of these. The regular SP and La Puntas are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarZen Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have only tried one -- so I may be completely off. I was underwhelmed. It had the harshness of a young EL, some toasted EL flavor, but no real interesting flavors that some of the other better ELs had when young. Since it is an RyJ that is short and fat, I will compare it to the 01 Robustos. The Robustos, when young, had a deep coffee flavor imho. They were better. I think that the Hermosos No 1 and 2 are much better. More complexity and most importantly flavor. Now that being said, who knows how they will develop. They could turn into great sticks.

joerose Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 When I first tried them about 6-8 weeks ago I was really underwhelmed as another commentator put so well. Having said that, I smoked a few in the past several weeks and really liked their down and dirty flavor, especially in such a small package. Then again maybe my opinion will change in another two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strayvector Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I ordered a couple of singles of these and smoked one. I was underwhelmed. Still a good cigar, but not what I was hoping an EL would be. I put up the other as an ante for a World Series bet, but I'll probably order a couple more to see how well they develop.

thschrminm Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The R&J petit piramide right now is nothing to write home about... It has a very bland dark bean type flavor to it that is lacking in the richness that is more prominent in the regular production belicoso... That blandness though I have tasted before in the past and with age has developed into a dark coffee flavor that leaves a nice aftertaste in the mouth... I am hoping this one will evolve with more age also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
