Review #33:

I've just smoked my first Cedros de Luxe in an informal atmosphere, so here's an informal review. After a not too clean cut (the mouthend was slightly dry) I took a few draws. To my relief the draw was perfect, but the taste was quite as I expected: cedar. How could it not be, with the cigar having rested in its cedar sleeve and being an RyJ. I decided not to force it into neutrality and lit it up with the cedar wrapping. The initial flavour of the smoke was intensely aromaticwith cedar, as it is so often in this brand. Now while this is a classical cigar aroma and can be seen as a plus, I've come to dread it a bit. Cedar tends to be quite dominant, too prominently present on the tip of the tongue. Maybe a side-effect of over-indulgence in Romeo no. 3s. But just as I was about to become judgmental and dismiss it as a slightly souped-up version of that line, after an inch of burn, things picked up. Strength took a step back and tagged over to a welcome fresher taste... that of good Cuban tobacco that doesn't get in its own way. The rest of the cigar mostly kept progressing in this direction. Good Cuban smoke, thick with flavour and rich in the nose. Surprisingly, it managed to stay on the "clean" side nearly all of this time. It flirted with a certain gruffness, the cedar lingering in the background at any moment, but never exploded into bitterness or actual roughness. The end, after a rather satisfactory duration of smoking, was short and to the point: a woody aroma (this time drier, less sweet and more intricate than the cedar) took over and bid me goodnight as the cigar came to its finish. This was no extraordinary cigar. But it was very good in what it set out to do. While there may be many similar experiences in the vast Cuban spectrum, and indeed the Romeo no. 3 can provide equal satisfaction when you're lucky to have a particularly neat one at a much lower price, I really can imagine that some people would feel grief if this little stick were to disappear. Particularly because it was simply a very pleasant, unpretencious smoke that exactly because of this could become a polished gem with some aging. My initial suspicions that this was a somewhat unrequired part of the RyJ line-up are washed away. Instead, this cigar is like the little grocery store around the corner that you'd hate to see muscled out by the big warehouses: it may be nothing too special, but perhaps it's just your taste. I know I'll stand up for these. - Submitted by Nekotaku on August 6, 2008

My first cuban experience and even itroduction into the world of cuban cigars 20yrs ago was with the RJ #3 and I must say they were disapointing over plugged poor construction ect,but reading the reveiws here and wanting to experience the joy other authours have had ,I wanted to give them another try,well in my opinion they have only got slightly better not the best cigar ive ever had the cap cut nicely the burn was uneven ,and it was slightly overplugged,which to get the amount of smoke i wanted I had to draw that bit harder making the cigar hotter,bringing out more spice and pepper than I really care for the aroma was ok the ash was grey and somewhat weaker than other cubans I smoke,but the construction from the outside was execllent none the less I still burnt my fingers with it but I dont think i will buy any more - Submitted by godfather on May 4, 2008

I tried this cigar while in Mexico-the it was not handled well by the tobacanist but the flavor and experience were excellent. I purchased a box later and the appearence was just like Review 27. The cigar was better than I remembered cedar upfront medium through out, creamy with wood notes. I would recommend to my friends. - Submitted by bi11fish on January 2, 2008

Review #30:

The first one I had from this box was harsh and had a bad metallic aftertaste. 18 months have since passed. I tried one again last night, hoping they had matured with time. I was right they are much more smokeable now and the harshness is now gone. The "nutty" flavor, however, is too one-dimensional and lacking excitement. Conclusion: Much improved, but still un-impressive. - Submitted by Nivel Acuso on December 17, 2007

Review #29:

Totally agree with reviewer #27. I am lucky to have an extremely knowledgeable tabbaconist who smokes this cigar and reccomended it to me. He has a nicely aged box from '03 and each cigar I have tried had some really nice bloom on it. Perhaps the poor reviews on this cigar were a result of young cigars. All of my reviews reflect how a cigar compares to others in it's price range and for 17 bucks CAD, I'm giving this one a top score but do try to get a cigar with age on it or be patient and age yourself. I have great difficulties with the later. - Submitted by jimbo1973 on December 13, 2007
