I scored a bundle, of the dark R4 torp's. Pretty tasty, nice oily flavor from that dark wrapper-if you like that.

I have some of the Naturals, they are an ok smoke not great but they are cheap. Nice for a morning smoke of if you are going for your 3rd or 4th cigar of the night. I am hoping they will get better with a year on them.

These are good with some rest time but the draw is really tight.
I smoked one today. Nice cigar.

I just got this bundle in the mail today. They look nice, but were freezing cold when I opened the box, so it may be a month or so until I enjoy one. What I can say now is that the maduro wrapper on these puppies is DARK. I would have guessed oscuro just from looking at it. It's a dark dark dark oily wrapper with a much lighter filler from looking at the foot. I'll let you know how they smoke. They are $70 for 25 on C-bid, but I've seen two sales in the last feww months that bring them to $40-$45. Cheers

i've been told they have the same flavor profile as an Anejo. TBD if that's true or not.

I have never had an anejo, have you? do you want to compare and let us know what you think regarding the flavor profiles? I believe I already have your addy.

Ther is alittle something special in there as well. I figure shipping costs the same either way. It is in a tubo, but the cigar is not the same as the tubo, so open it to find the acctual smoke.
