RyJ ex no 4 ABO AGO 18 (49SRW)

RyY exhibition no 4. ABO AGO 18

 

Lately I have been working on rounding out my collection. A month ago I received a box of the RyJ no 4. There was one stick in the box that arrived damaged but looked like it was smokable. Not worth bothering my vendor I thought. Looked awful but smoked well

 

V cut. Easy draw but that could be due to the wrapper damage. First third produced lots of smoke. A light flavor. Almost like the vanilla wafers they sell in the cookie aisle. Quite enjoyable. 

 

Just before the second third some paprika and light pepper arrives. Draw becomes tighter and oddly the crack opens up. Flavor start to move around. Milk chocolate. Creamy something. Coffee?  I focus on the basketball for a few minutes and it goes out. Hmmm. Rh measured 64 before I lit it up. Hmmm. I guess I’ve been inattentive. 

 

Final third mint starts to appear on the edges. Then wham chocolate again. It battles the mint until the end of the nub. A delicious cigar. Will get more. 90/91. Will hit this box up again soon. I’m also honing in on really liking the 46-48 rg sticks in my collection.

  I love it when mint makes an appearance, never seems to be any rhyme nor reason for it, just a little gift from the tobacco gods

I was going through my coolidor yesterday and opened up my box of RyJ Ex no. 4 and I could have swore I smelled a hint of mint.  I looked up the box code and it is ABO AGO 18.

  I've only had it a few times, once in a PLPC and once in a Bolivar Britannicas, it's like a cigar shooting start when it happens lol

The mint was a surprise for sure. Glad I fired up that ugly ?.
