Got some new RyJ Cazadores. FEB 09- Same as it ever was. MAR 09- these cigars have bands!!!

Bassman, have you tasted them? Curious to see if they should be something I put on the to do list...

Potentially good, but really too fresh to smoke now. Moist, oily & hard to keep lit. First time I've smoked such a young Cazadore, more for curiosity than any other reason. The 09s will go back to sleep. My 06s are tasting great now. Even those, when first opened, need a couple days dry boxing before smoking well. That sealed pouch really leeps them moist.

I take them out of that foil as soon as I get them. Although I havent had any in a while. Hmmmmmm. . .

Thanks for sharing.

How do you describe their current flavor, strength and complexity? I have read about the early 2ks, but am interested in trying some 09's to put down. Having no experience with them, I trust your opinion...

Thanks again

Are they same Romeo bands or something different? I wonder if Bobby Dylan will like the change! Seems strange to have bands on Cazadores. Never would have seen that coming. Maybe it will increase their sales lol
