La Riqueza No. 1
"Uneventful"
La Riqueza No. 4 5 Pack
Uneventful, is the only way to describe this cigar. The No.1 appears to be well-made, but leaves much to be desired in the quality of its tobacco. This smoke is dry and green, with absolutely no flavor to speak of.

"At least It Deserves a 89-90"
La Riqueza No. 4
This isn't a Tat,...period. Anyone expecting that will be either be disappointed or pleasantly surprised. I picked up 3X 5-packs here on auction after I bought one wholesale at my B&M, and I love this stick. Honestly, I hope it doesn't get a better rating and more people don't find out about it; leaves more for me!

"Another good one from Pete Johnson"
La Riqueza No. 4 5 Pack
Nice appearance. Got quick blast of charcoal flavor at start. Mellowed right into nice flavors of leather, sweet spices and every now and then black licorice notes. Nice draw and even burn. a winner!

"Great Taste and Construction!"
La Riqueza No. 5
The best aspect of this cigar is the taste, hands down it is excellent and unique. I tend to prefer larger gauge smokes so I'm going to give the #2 a try. Nothing bad to say about this cigar whatsoever!

"Great flavor, terrible draw"
La Riqueza No. 4 5 Pack
This cigar is a bit of a mystery to me. The flavors and burn are fantastic, but I have had some serious inconsistencies with the burn. I have had three of these, and the first two were fantastic smokes. Excellent balance and finessed flavors. The third had what is perhaps the tightest draw of any cigar I have ever smoked. I definitely recommend that you try one for the flavor, but after my last experience, I would be hard pressed to consider a box purchase. Pete Johnson's other offerings are far superior in this regard.

"EXCELLENT TASTE"
La Riqueza No. 4
I gave these La Riqueza #4 a try and loved them. They have a very flavorful and complex taste, I would categorize them as medium. I have enjoyed them in the morning and after dinner and of course, midday.

"Ok cigar if u can get a deal"
La Riqueza No. 4 5 Pack
Not a bad cigar, but I def expected more, little bit of leather and coffee, but sure not worth $9.

"decent smoke but pricey"
La Riqueza No. 4
Like all pete johnson smokes, this smoke is good, but not worth the retail asking price. it has a good, substantial maduro flavor and yet lacks depth and complexity. also has bit of a dry (almost gritty) tint to the flavor profile, if that makes any sense.

"First one, lots of leather."
La Riqueza No. 1
Got a pair of these at about half retail price on auction to try out. Smoked the first one last night. No construction, burn, or draw issues. Consistent taste all the way through, which for me was a strong leather tobacco flavor and not much else. Fine cigar, no harshness to it at all, it's just that I'm just not big on that particular flavor if that is the only one I can pick up on. Maybe the second one will be more nuanced with hints of other flavors. If not, I won't be buying more of these, even at the discounted price just because of my personal flavor preferences. If you really like leather this might be for you.

"Lonsdale is one the BEST"
Next
La Riqueza is available in several vitolas, but this No. 1 is by far the best. Packs a punch, long finish but not dry. About 2/3rds through you get some nutty and almost a vanilla flavor. Highly recommended.
