Fantastic smoke mild but great!!!!

Repeated review. This one is sitting at about 20 months of rest. The flavor includes leather with subtle hints of spice and wood. The draw and burn are both very consistent due to solid construction in the roll.

This one gets better with rest, sitting at about 18 months on this one. The flavor brings out leather with subtle hints of spice and wood. The draw and burn are both very consistent due to solid construction in the roll.

I’ve had these sitting for about 9 months and they are even more enjoyable now than before. I don’t have a ton of time to sit back and smoke but these have come in handy for small moments of repose

Nothing amazing, but a good casual smoke. The flavor leans towards leather with subtle hints of spice and maybe a little wood. The draw and burn are both consistent though due to solid construction in the roll.

TL;DR - smokes great and tastes like burned vegetables. Pass. 5 mos aged. ⏳️ Prelight is hay with light honey. Tastes of light leather. Goldilocks draw with impeccable outer construction. Wrapper is a little spotty. Lights up perfectly. Starting off, there's a Woody undertone that's paired with a grassy experience. Retrohale is a bit grassy also. Now, grassy-vegetable is settling on the palate. Not great. I'm guessing it's the Indonesian wrapper that's doing this. It's a first impression for me and not a good one. First third is complete, and I'm not seeing that this is going to change. For a similar experience, maybe chew some burnt Bok Choy and Kale. Early discard.

“Back to where it all started!” Champagne cigar is so special...it delivers the rich layers of complex flav​ors but offers a subtle, mellow-bodied profile. A supremely flavorful handmade built for anytime enjoyment that can satisfy every palate on the planet. Comprised of a fine, Cuban-seed Nicaraguan blend of extensively aged tobaccos, the Champagne is hugged by a stunning, triple-fermented Connecticut shade wrapper. The cigar is superior on all fronts, pumping out various nuances including rich tobacco flavors, hints of coffee, creamy undertones, and a subtle sweetness, almost like honey.

I love a smooth, smoky cigar, and this is that. Good burn throughout. Smooth and enjoyable. I’m not the best at determining flavor notes, but I know what I like, and this is a solid, good cigar I’ll definitely have again and share with friends. Long ash and good feel overall.

R&J was one of the first cigars I ever had many years ago. Definitely brings back memories of what got me into this hobby in the first place. Definitely worth keeping one or two on hand in the humidor.

I love these little beauties! I used to sit on cigarillos but these guys have changed my mind. It’s often the case that if I’m going to smoke in the morning I only have ~30 minutes or so before work. Grabbed a book, a coffee, and prepped myself for the day. Smooth cigar that is creamy all the way through. Thick clouds, peppery finish, nice medium body the whole way.

Kind of an odd barnyard mustiness but, in a pleasant way. Light bodied, a little bit of creamy feel. Very light caramel notes.

Someone gave me this cigar. Wayne and Jackie gave this to me in Las Vegas for my birthday.
