RyJ Wide Churchill this evening. A RyJ Churchill was my first real cigar and was responsible for me setting off down this smokey path. Seemed rude not to try the Wide too.
Report please Sludgie, I've got three of these resting in my humidor
So here are my thoughts on the Romeo De Luxe 2013 EL. I bought two of these from JJ Fox whilst I was in London on Wednesday. Kept in my travel humidor at 65 RH. Initial impressions very good - a very well constructed cigar with a dark wrapper and the two bands. 52 ring gauge by 6.4 inches, so a Double Robusto size if I'm not mistaken? Well packed, and upon cutting had an easy draw. Upon lighting, the first thing that struck me is the lovely room note. This is a very aromatic stick. Notes of wood and as I hit the first third, quite a spicy note on the tongue and palate. It's more full bodied than a regular RyJ, and this was evident as I smoked further. They are still very young, and I don't think they're anywhere near their best yet. It reminded me of the Dukes when they were young...No funnelling issues and no touch ups needed, but the cigar is far from balanced, and I think it is going to be a couple of years before these approach their prime. They get quite bitter and acrid towards the final third, but I think ageing will sort this out. So, in summary, very young, and if you can hold off smoking them, they should reward you for your patience! I am going to bury the other one deep in the humi and revisit in a couple of years....
