    What's your overall opinion of RyJ tobacco Rip? Interested in trying some of their coronas as they are pretty cheap for an everyday smoke and to keep my hands out of my aged stash.

    Romeo Y julieta uses tobacco from Cuban Vuelta Abajo and puerto de golpe regions of Cuba. Thry also use some from Piloto and San Juan y Martinez in their blends. Overall, RyJ cigars are great. Their regular coronas comes in tubos and box of 25. They have great aromatic flavor and aroma but some of them also have little tight draw. They pay great attention to their top lines not to the regular coronas. As you mentioned that they are cheap and overall offer great values so it is good idea to have some in hand. Even Orlando Padron said once, if Cuba opens up in his life time, he will create two lines one with Nicaraguan and another with Cuban tobacco. He is proud of his Nica tobacco but also agrees that Cuban tobacco is unique.

    Dustin, if you are looking for a cheap Cuban corona size cigar with robust aromatic flavor and aroma than buy a box of H. Upman No. 4. Few cigars can beat this line. A box of 25 cost $260, depends where you buy them.

    another knock out on the review. I like the forbidden line. I thought he lancero was the weakest out of the bunch though; but I'm not much of a lancero fan.

    Can I come live with you.... you have the best smokes. I love reading your reviews.

    Thanks Rich. In fact, I was also very sentimental during smoking and review this cigar. I went through a lot of hassle to collect three sticks. Now I say, it is worth 100%.

    Thank you Sir. If you ever visit Nicaragua please let me know. I would be glad to invite you to my house for a dinner and great cigars.

    Rip, another fantastic review. I have had one Opus and it was pretty phenominal. I can't imagine how great this one was. Thanks for sharing.

    I usually run out of words too, but your pictures, hell you could do a pictorial review and we would all be jazzed. Just beautiful.

    I love to take pictures of cigar and the culture around it. I am trying to go to Cuba(of course legally). One of my dream is to make a Pictorial/Coffee Table book about Old Havana and the Cigar culture. I have been collecting pictures and hope someday I will be able to publish it. If that happens then all the money will go to a cigar producing country to help the people and their family members welfare who works in the industry. I have organized some dinner plus cigar events to raise funds here. I gave away some of my top cigars to raise handsome amount of money. I really enjoy doing it.

    Great review! These are in my top of all time I think. Haven't had a behike yet but these are damn well worth every penny! They are pricey but very good and I loved the nutty flavores! Thanks for a great review and reminding us how good these are!
