I finally got the chance to try a La Riqueza tonight. I smoked the No. 1, a lonnie, and was very impressed by the first inch, which exhibited sweet coffee and chocolate flavor. Unfortunately, the rest didn't really do it for me, as the smoke became slightly harsh and a bit on the bland side. :(

In my experience, very generally: NC construction > CC construction CC flavor quality to price ratio > NC flavor quality to price ratio Different preferences are a function of different priorities. Simple as that...

I have one with the old style, pre-2007 band on it. I wasn't all that excited to try it, but this review has my interest piqued.

Flawless! :laugh: I can't understand people who wish to just get lit while not actually enjoying what they are drinking.

I believe the "Linear +" display mode does this. I like it too.

I'm glad you're enjoying them, man! :thumbs:

I approach vodka tasting just like any other tasting, whether wine, cigars, or food. Just concentrate on the aroma (nose), taste (palate), and finish. I wouldn't shoot; I would serve chilled and sip. The key to tasting anything, in my opinion, is holding the wine/smoke/spirit is one's mouth...

Great review! This really gives an excellent idea of the experience of one of these smokes.

Great story! And it's even better that, unlike most "Cuban" "cigar" gifts from those out of the loop, they weren't fake! :0

Jump on this, everyone! Jonesy is a fine BOTL and a great pass host!

Congrats on the haul, Jim! I'm especially impressed not by the rarity of these, as things like a slightly differently shaped Opus don't really get me excited. However, I am impressed by the absolute quality and age of these. Opus Maddies, OR Anejos, all of those Ashtons, etc are not simply...

Thanks for the review and beautiful pics, Greg! I have one of these and am waiting for the right time to burn it. I'm glad that these appear to be coming around sooner rather than later. :thumbs:

Happy birthday, Alex!

Welcome to CP! It's great to see another business posting.

Congratulations!

I really need to try one of my few Johnny-Os. The next time I herf with two others, my culebra's getting burned. :cool:

Amen. :thumbs:

Great play!

CF has been going nuts over these for quite a while. I know the Fuentes aren't all that revealing with new smokes, but is this a different blend? They seem to me to be a great charity fund raising engine, but are they any different in taste, as compared to any other Opus?

Cool! I learned some new cigar slang today! :laugh:
