Ah very nice. I am about half way down. Agree the flavour lies in the leather/wood/earth section on the flavour wheel. Occasional slight sweetness but no pepper.

Perfect burn with no relights so far. I think switching back to cutting from punching has helped reduce relights and improved flavour in general.

I think if it had been a blind tasting the first words out of my mouth would have been non-Cuban

EDIT: Its getting better the further down I get....

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy! These look and smell great. Don't know if you can see in the pic but they even have little pony tails!
Plus a couple of hitchhikers, Thanks PeeJay you sure are a swell guy!

Need to put some expanding foam in a random hole I found in the wall fitting the kitchen then will spark one up and keep you all posted!

The fatter Romeo is really nice, John gifted me one of those too. Enjoy mate!

Not sure I would recognise this last half as non-Cuban. Burn still perfect which is impressive seeing as it went from post office to being lit in just a couple of hours

Don't forget that the Dominican RyJ isn't just a name hijack, after the nationalisation of the cigar factories the brand moved to La Romana in the DR.

Yeah I know but the same guys cant make the same product if they have different raw material to work with?

Same quality different flavours but you can sure as hell bet they took Cuban seed stock with them so there's bound to be similarities in the profile.

There is for sure. Like I said the last half might have fooled me. I don't know if someone more educated cigar wise would have been. I concentrate more on enjoying than getting too technical about it. It has been a good smoke. Glad you got them, thanks again. Would hope to a buy a box in the future but don't know when as plenty more I would probably give a higher priority to. Should bear in mind they are of a similar price as Trinidad Coloniales 5.2" 44RG and I can see me buying many more boxes of them over the years as opposed to just a single box of these. Worth a try and would still recommend though.

I have so got to start a record of who gives me what! Seriously though, he so wanted to try a Nub he's organised a split so he really should try one now.

Quite right.

[Wigan]

My third one of these. 2 acquired from another source I believe. Think I may bump the up list of priorities box purchase wise............

Don't get the impression that lanceros burn fast, if they're rolled properly they'll burn slowly too.
