R&J Petit Churchil - GAT JUN 12

[asmith]

A new cigar onto the market, and it is a small one so we chose not to invite Ken as he doesn't like this size. How does the cigar hold up as a new line to the R&J stable.

very helpful review gents! i felt the same way after having a short churchill the other day...very flavorless. Ezpass on these!

Well that's to bad , I am a fan of the wide Churchill minus the roast lamb. Maybe a guy will have to re visit these in a few months and see if anything has changed.

A sampler might be in order the Churchill sampler

Welcome Anthony!

I think everyone was kind of expecting this to be honest, screams marketing before flavour.

If they wanted to make a shorter cigar for the pub crowd which introduces them to RyJ why not make a petit cazadorezs 5-pack tin? Exact same blend as the caza just 4 inches long?

I really wanted these to be good! Will have to stick to the RyJ SC which I love. The RyJ WC is not bad either.

[Hazza]

I've really enjoyed most of the SC's ive had but I have to agree, this ones very bleh. Rob said it best on the Fri night of Havanathon, this cigar has no soul

[braveheart655]

Nice effort. It's a shame that the cigar was so bad.

Btw, what are the thoughts on HDM Petit Robusto? I've been reading rather good things about it.

[jedipastor]

Thanks for the review, gang! Looks like I'll stick with the HdM PR and Monte PE for this vitola. Too bad, I do like the Short Churchill quite a bit.

BTW, great job Andrew!

[Charltonc]

I love the HDM petit robusto.

[Jszeto]

great review as always

[NJP]

Thanks again gents. Any good Aussie should have been able to sell them to a kiwi. Did you get Andrew to leave with a box?

[Scdalak]

Such a disappointment, Watching the review I couldn't help but think this is type of garbage HSA would be putting out across the board should the US Embargo ever be lifted. Any excuse to capitalize on the marketing..... Watered down crap...

[CanuckSARTech]

Great review again guys, thanks! Good or bad, it's nice to hear it as it is.

I'll be looking to try some 5-pack tins of the H. Upmann short coronas when in Cuba, but I'll stick clear of these then.

Cheers.

thanks for the review. great fun to watch as always.

for the last few years for me the R&J are usually somewhat of a "hollow" cigar in terms of flavor.

cheers

Too bad to see another bad RyJ coming to the market. I will stick with the Short Churchill, that should have just been called the RyJ robusto, and my beloved cazzies

[frenchkiwi]

"Petit Churchill"... eh???

you obviously don't want poor Anthony to come back if you give him one of these straight off the bat.

sounds like and seemingly tastes like another Montecristo Open piece of marketing madness... maybe they're also going hard out bacchanalian over at HSA ... coming up with absurd ideas ... depressing!!

"The health department would love this cigar" ....my favorite review line!!
