Good smoke but to me it is very FULL body and a little harsh, and I smoke 2-4 cigars evary week.

Wow, this cigar is impressive. This is exactly what I like in a Maduro. A rich spicy espresso right in the upper end of Medium. At least on the first half inch. Great construction, and when I put it on my lips cold, got that great tingle on the lips letting me know this baby was going to have some kick to it.

I can see some sparkle on the wrapper letting me know that it’s been aged nicely. And a hint of sweetness when I draw after it’s been cooling.

Jerry, this is really a fantastic cigar. I have to say, I’m impressed. For the price, this cigar is great. This cigar reminds me of a Carlos Tarano Virtuoso with a little more kick. I’d have to say, while I’m a fan of the Virtuoso line, I might have to give the edge to this RP blend. Maybe after this one is smoked out, I’ll fire up a Virtuoso and see how it compares.

Whoot!!!! Thanks Jerry for the contests!!! I’ll finish up taxes and these will celebrate another year done. Hate tax time but smoking a fine cigar makes things so much the better

I’m always a sucker for a RP cigar and can’t wait to taste this maduro blend while watching your review of it. Be like a delayed virtual herf haha.

Long ashes and as always, I love your review,

Dave

Nice review, as always, Jerry.

My personal maduro favorites are Nicaraguan-based, but I really like a broad range of them, to be honest. Some of my favorite maduro wrapped sticks are the JFR, El Triunfador, and the Anejo line. The RP Winter maduro is a pretty nice wrapper, too.

Good review, I’ve only had the corojo wrapper. I thought it was pretty mediocre myself. My favorite maduro has to be the oscuro wrapper on the El Rey del Mundo robusto, robusto larga, and robusto suprema. Considering the large ring, I’ve never had a maduro/oscuro that smooth.
