Anyone tryed one? What are your thought about these?
I think it is refreshing to see a new PC with the trend of expencive dubbebanded cigars that just cost a lot!

I will buy a box soon to try and will post my thoughts in this thread!

Ben,

Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to try these yet but am eager to do so. I agree that it is nice to see this size introduced as a new, regular production stick. I also really like the choice of marca.

(BTW, please check your PM's.)

I have nothing helpful to add but I just wanted to comment how nice it is that this size, with a 42 RG is the largest of the line. I've never noticed this as it's a brand that has avoided my thorough attention. I might have to visit it in the future...box split? haha jk.

I agree Ben that it's nice to see a small/thin new release vs the large RG that have been coming out lately! Even though I like Rafael Gonzalez, a 4x40 is just too small for my liking. I smoke a lot of typical PC's in the 5.1x42 format. I also like RASCC's in the 4.3x42 size but that's as small as I like to go. I love lanceros, but they are obviously longer.

Not sure, but maybe the short/skinny format makes me think of cigarettes too much, I can't stand cigarettes... probably a psychological thing where I can't get myself to smoke them.

YA YA YA, so where's my review? :drool:
It was a pleasant cigar with alot of flavors....mostly kakao and citrus but it didn't develop at all but still an ok cigar! If you can get it for a fair price pull the trigger!

Never did see a review on these.......A bit shorter than I typically prefer to smoke, but I like the fact that RG has brought out a new, smaller RG vitola. I will buy a box and support it regardless, as this is the only way that Habanos, SA will continue to see that there is a need for good production smokes (as opposed to constantly chasing LE and RE).

I've had only one but found it pretty boring. Will try dry boxing to see if that improves them.

After all the work to find them, they ended up disappointing you :( Sucks man. Go hunt down some H Upmann Half Coronas. Those are t!ts.
YES. Those things are awesome. I've had two thanks to Mike (SurpriseMVP), got another as a hitchhiker with my Perlas 5er, and was able to pick up two tins myself. The tins are untouched so far but I am looking forward to them when it gets really cold. They are little flavor bombs, and I'd love to grab a dress box once a) they are actually available again and b) I actually have the room!!
