From my own collection.
Location: This review was made indoors in Mellgrens cigar lounge.

The range comprises medium strength cigars, using tobacco from the premium Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba.
Dress Box of 25 cigars.
Size: 6×53, Robusto Extra (Sobresalientes).
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily and smooth with some veins protruding but most of them tiny.
Construction: Firm even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Light cedarwood note.
1st third: Starts with a cup of medium roasted coffee and a dash of milk, backed my a oak wood note.
2nd third: Keeps the same.
Burn: Burns sharp with a firm but not so stable gray-white ash.
Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a cool smoke feeling on the tongue and a medium light draw.
3rd third: There is only a medium roasted coffee note left the other flavours have now gone away.
Duration: 19:00-20:00, 1h.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile.
Result: In my book this is an 90 point cigar.
/Cigar Reviewer André
I love this cigar. It has all the floral notes and perfume of a lovely R&J - easily the prettiest of all cigars. It also has a bit of a dark tang through the wrapper and is a happy hour at least. These cigars were dismissed when they came out and maybe R&Js just need more time to mature than people think. Try one of these new Hidalgos and you will see what I mean. This brand evokes the earlier generations - the cigar your grandfather smoked after dinner - but they are as interesting and stimulating today as they were then. One of the first cigars I ever smoked, this cigar will not disappoint and if you are a fan of the marque then you will rather love this one. It’s like meeting a slightly eccentric cousin of a very good friend. You recognise many of the traits but there are some new ones there you never imagined.
