After enjoying so many R&J cigars over the years, I upgraded to their Reserva Real Toro, and it promptly became my favorite...very tasty, Well made, with good ash & draw.. Rich bouquet per my wife .I have yet to be disappointed in any R&J cigar...which is quite a statement.. .

Great medium body cigar. Burns smooth and even when properly lit. Great aroma. This size is good for about a 50-minute smoke with flavors of cocoa and is smooth to the finish. Always a favorite in my humidor. I prefer the H. Upmann Currency, 5.5x48, but settled on the Annunity when they were on sale. Great cigar and highly recommended for the seasoned beginner and experienced smoker.

My first Vintage Cameroon Toros were fantastic. From the initial torch up to the finger burning end. Very reminiscent of some of my favorite Fuentes. The Cameroon wrapper shines through with subtle tones of leather and the tasty medium body filler is consistent start to finish. My only knock on this cigar is that it was a tight roll with a firm draw. Otherwise, one I ll add to the humidor to keep in stock.

Excellent draw and burn. Mild to medium strength. Very smooth and tasty. A great buy when on sale at Famous Smoke.

So, I got this in an H. Upmann sampler, and this was the last one I tried in the sampler. Up until this cigar, the sampler was a bit hit or miss, but this thing was a home run! It stunned me it tasted so good. It was very smooth, creamy, and pleasant. It was like smoking a mocha latte that was usually sweet and balanced with some peppery leather. It tasted so good that it still deserves 5 stars despite a few construction issues. The cigar usually burned very evenly but there were a couple of spots where the cigar went out and required a relight. However, that had no effect on the taste. I nubbed this thing to the mustache in 105 minutes. I will be hunting for a good deal on a box of these for the humidor.

My first few of these didn t burn correctly, but after a bit of aging I ve changed my opinion. Good construction, excellent smoke, nice burn after aging. Glad I tried them

There has been a couple of occasions that I have received cigars that were dried out, this was one.

The Platinum is my favorite Montecristo, and the toro is my preferred size of cigar. I am not one that puts much stock in trying a cigar because of the brand. I prefer medium to full bodied cigars. Keeping in mind that your mileage may vary , and that taste is subjective to every individual, my palate tells me that most Montecristos are too mild, and not very flavorfull.The Platinum on the other hand is interesting enough to me to ensure that I want to keep some in my humidor at all times. And even then, Montecristo brands are priced far too high for my wallet. I will not buy them unless on a very good sale. There is a taste unique to the Platinum that I have not encountered in any other cigar in 15 years of enjoying cigars. There is what I refer to as a metallic tang to the cigar that I really like. Something in the Platinum blend of tobaccos peaks my interest and always leaves me wanting more. I wish I knew what tobacco lends that metallic tang to the cigar. I like Mexican grown tobacco, and it may be the Mexican San Andres Cubano wrapper that provides that tang? I don t know. I only know that I thoroughly enjoy the Platinum.
