"Great cigar terrible draw"
First and foremost I most say this stick was pretty awesome. The taste was to die for, it burned exceptionally well, and was an extremely good looking cigar. The only downfall was the draw. It was one of the worst drawing cigars I've ever had. I mean I puffed on that thing like five times in a row and didn't get hardly anything. I'm sure if you had a nail or something to drive into it it might draw better, but being a newer smoker I don't have one and was disappointed in that regard. Overall though I would probably get this cigar again once I have the proper tools to actually enjoy it to it's fullest... a solid 8.7 out of 10

"Great Taste, Burn, Draw and Consistancy"
I've enjoyed these on and off over a couple years and they are one of my favorites. Not overpowering, but flavorful and very consistant. One of the few cigars I can say that year to year still seems the same and is always a pleasre and the price....Need I say more. You just can't go wrong with this one.

"A great smoke at a terrific price!"
A smooth and aromatic smoke with a good draw and burn. I've smoked cigars at twice the price that didn't measure up to the R&J Cedro Deluxe #2. The presentation is also impressive with the full length cedar sleeve and gold band. I highly recommend this smoke.

"A FINE smoke and Great Draw"
This is really a great cigar, smooth, sweet and a fine draw. Perhaps Reginald, you forgot to cut the CAP? ; )

"Does Every Reviewer work for R&J"
Having just finished several Bully's and Cedro #2's, I can say three things. The Cedro tasted way better than the Bully. The Cedro actually tasted great. The draw on both was so bad I felt like a whore with tuberculosis giving a BJ. Is it that hard to get a cigar to draw properly? The taste is plenty good enough that you would think R&J would get their act together and improve their quality control. If I hadn't had several of two different versions of the 1875, plus what a lot of folks have said at various review sites, I never would be writing this review. Yes, it burns crappy too. Damn shame as it (Cedro) really tastes quite good. Not worth the headache though.

"Good but not great"
Saw this stick at a shop for a reasonable price so I decided to give it a try... it had a tad bit of harshness but over all it had hints of cream nuts and cedar. It wasn't a bad stick but not overly complex or spicy either. It's great for a mild mid day smoke, and it won't break the bank either.

"Excellent smoke"
Beautiful presentation, top-notch construction, full-flavored medium cigar with deceptive power. About a 45 minute smoke. I would give it an 88 total score. Excellent value for the over-all quality.

"an excellent smoke"
I was most interested to compare this R&J with the genuine Cuban brand I buy here in Israel. It is a completely different experience. But smooth and mellow, except for the start, which was slightly coarse. The bouquet of the Cuban brand is positively floral in character. Mild and full of suprising flavors. But the R&J 1875 from Famous is outstanding, good to the last centimeter.
