RyJ Habana Reserve - Is it just me?

[strife]

Smoked a Rome y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso today and I was really surprised by the range of flavors. It's not like any other NC RyJ that I've ever smoked, maybe because it's a mostly Nicaugran blend. Never expected it from a cigar this inexpensive or especially a cigar from Altadis. I have afew more in different vitolas to try before I get too excited though.

Anyone else?

I thought it was a decent smoke for a RYJ. If someone handed me one I would smoke it and be content, but not something I want to go out and buy. If that makes sense...

Makes sense to me!

Makes perfect sense, I got a four pack through an Altadis offer and figured what the hell, one can never have enough cigars for working around the yard with. If the other three are even close I might just buy some more. If not I'll try another Beli. I did have them in the humidor for three months, maybe that helped.

I will say that it did have a bit of a burn issue that was easily taken care of, probably because of the box pressed shape.

I got that same offer...and they've shipped it to me 3 times now...strange. But I only get charged $7.95 each time, so I figure I won't complain

Those are my favorite RyJ. You can't beat the price for the flavor and quality you get.

I actually like the original R&J Bully as well. Mild but good cedar flavor.

This used to be my go to. I might try one again soon and see if I like it again

I think you answered your own question right there my brother!

I had 1 yesterday a churchill. It had a fairly yellow cello. I will say that I would smoke it agian and maybe even buy more if they were aged a little. It was a very very good smoke. I would of never have tried this, but it came in a pass.

 

[VirginIslander]

Wait, a boxpressed habana reserve???

 

[Gordy]

i actually like most of the ryj's out there.. this one is definately no exception

I bought one of these awhile back and enjoyed the cigar. These are good cigars to have around and I also got the 4 for 7.95 deal.

Also got the 4 pack a while back and smoked one the week I received them. I wasn't to fond of it, but now that they've had a little "rest" I 'll have to give them another shot.
