RyJ Coronitas En Cedros

[smbauerllc]

Looking for opinions on the RyJ Coronitas En Cedros as I would like to include some pc sized smokes with my next order and they are very well priced

 

Thanks

I find the Belvederes and Sports Largos to be the most consistent and flavorful of the small RyJs over the last 5 or so years. 

CeC can be all over the place in quality. RdL are pretty blah IMO. Both clearly aren't using top-tier leaf.

Good to know, thanks.

Probably explains the price a bit at least

How would you consider them in the $4 each range?

Worth $4. Went through a box over past few years and got much better after a couple years. Very muted standard RyJ profile of flavors, but woody dominated more so. Gave a fair amount to non hobbyist friends who came over and they all enjoyed. Would consider petite royales for small format RyJ before these, personally

Petit Royales are a serious cigar. Not even in the same league as the small offerings. In fact, I think on a good day it might be the best RyJ. But they're a little pricey at $6+. If it's value you're looking for the Belvederes are the choice. I like them more than the PC or Mille Fleurs to be honest. And I might actually take them over the Cedros de Luxes. And certainly over the Romeo 1-3 which are just duty free crapola. 

I find a similar phenomenon with the Partagas Shorts vs. the small offerings. The Shorts is a serious cigar and head and shoulders above the cheapies. I suppose the HUHC vs. the HU tubos is the same as well. Those HU tubos are really terrible IMO. I'd pick a Romeos 1-3 over them any day, especially the appalling Coronas Minor (which was mercifully discontinued in 2019.)

I like the Sports Largos the best out of the small RyJs. Current ones are one of the best RyJ for me, and pretty good value. But I'm not a big half corona fan.

Also current RyJ cheapies (except may 1-3) are way better than the other cheapies (Partagas, Upmann, and the few others still around).

Agreed. Nothing against the Sports Largos except the Belvederes are a better value. Both are the standouts.

I'm also not a big HC fan but the blend on the Petit Royales is great. Price isn't great though. I rarely buy them but I do like them. I do not like the HUHC or Monte MC blends however. 

And yes, I won't argue the RyJs aren't the best of the cheap & cheerfuls. The HUs are just an abomination including the Majestics, Epicures and Regalias in dress box. The Partagas aren't great but aren't terrible. No doubt if I had to choose one out of all of them I would pick the Belvederes or SL.

all these cigars suck ..save your money 

Any recommendations in the under $120 range, 10ct or 25ct?

I respectfully disagree with the sentiment that "all" of those cigars suck. If you can find some singles to try first, I'd recommend trying the RyJ Sport Largos, Upmann Regalias and/or Epicures, and the HdM Palmas Extra. This is for 25ct boxes. If you're looking at 10ct priced under $120, your options broaden. Look for various petite robustos from Partagas, HdM, etc.

partagas short if you can find them for that price....could get them for at least $125 rn

Thanks.

Have tried them before and they are just too small and fast smoking for me, and leave me unsatisfied and craving more.

Same reason I don't buy HUHC's or other similar sized smokes anymore.

Would be great if they both came in the same Blend, but a larger vitola.

Anything under an hour smoke time just really isn't satisfying to me, even though both taste great.

Since I'm retired i have no time constraints where I need a quick smoke, so I stick with the larger vitolas

I have tried and enjoyed all the sticks you mentioned except for the sports largos.

They are bookmarked to try in the future though.

I'm definitely open to a 10ct box of something as long as its under $120, as i need to have enough left over to get a PerfecDraw tool

Sadly there doesn't seem to be a lot of vendors that carry 10ct boxes, but the one I'm planning to by from next has a few options I am considering
