Which Romeo in PC size

[seabass]

I had an incredible Romeo Churchill many years ago and want to relive the experience but in a smaller size...around the PC/TPC size. It looks like Romeo y Julieta has many offerings in this size. What do you recommend?

 

[terrantheman]

smoke them all until you find what you like

Terran,

Do you really find a large variance between one Marca?

 

[seabass]

Does anyone know if the Romeo no.2 in the tube is machine made? How are these?

They are handmade and I've not had one, I love Romeo churchie A/T's with about 5 yrs on them they are fantastic. I'd try them if I were you nothing is bad with some age on it especially some romeos:stretchgr

Terran,

Do you really find a large variance between one Marca?

In a word, YES! IMHO, the RyJ line is the poster child for variation among vitolas. I am an RyJ Churchill slut. . .:hysterica. . .but do not much care for most other cigars in their line. The Short Churchill is pretty good and the Exhibition #4 can be quite good when aged, but the rest of the RyJ's do nothing for me. . .So, the short answer is that I cannot recommend much from RyJ. There are lots of great PC's from other marcas. . .:wink:

I happen to love the RyJ No. 2. To me it's a great "cheap" cigar. I would not put it in the top 10 or even 15 cuban cigars, but for the money, it's a great smoke. I would put it in the same category as the Padron 3000 maduro in that it's pretty cheap, but it's still a very enjoyable cigar.

I can't say as I've had enough experience with the Churchills to give you a good idea. I absolutely love the Ex. 4 with some age and I've found that the corona seems to match up with that flavor profile quite well. Have you ventured into the RyJ line any further or was it just that one experience with the Churchill?

I like the Cedros de Luxe. Try the No.3 if you like PC size, but try the No.1 and No.2 as well, they are good.

 

[seabass]

The churchill was the only RyJ I have had.

I am with Tuba. I dig a No.2. Totally worth it.

 

[cvm4]

I've never had a RyJ PC or TPC. I guess I went with other brands that had more talk about them.

 

[Jwrussell]

Well Seabass, I can't help you with the PC or TPC sizes, but if you decide to go with the No. 2s and don't want a full box be sure to let me know. :eyebrow:
And if you decide you like the idea of the larger sizes mentioned let me know, I can hook you up with a couple.

 

[smokem94]

I have a full box of the Short Churchills and a full box of the Ex. #4's (from 03) aging in the humi!! Really looooove the Hermoso's #2!!! Can't find anymore???

 

[dpricenator]

I have a full box of the Short Churchills

MMMM I like that cigar. :hearteyes

 

[CWS]

SHort churchill is awesome.

I've been smoking both RyJ Petit Coronas and #2 Tubos. They are both good, with the PC being a little better, IMO. My box of Petit Coronas are from 2006, and the Tubos are from 2007

I've been working on a box of RyJ #2 in tubes...O.K.! But I much prefer Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales...Very tasty cigars!
