RyJ Anejo

[MNBrian]

I know most cigar shop guys are just full of it... But there's a particular MN shop that I value the opinion of around these parts. They always carry the next best boutique brands, and they always have a nice selection of OpusX, Anejos, and other highly touted smokes (which is rare for MN because of the high tax).

Anyways, the owner sees me browsing and pitches me on a RyJ Anejo, saying he's gone through 3 boxes, and he won't touch any other non-cc RyJ, but he claims this legitimately tastes like a Fuente Anejo.

I don't buy it, but being the sucker I am (and because he said he'd buy me anything else in the shop if I didn't agree), I bought a pair of them.

Anyone else tried one of these? Or are y'all as scared as I am to smoke a RyJ?

Sounds like he shot straight with you.

I'd have done the same, and picked up a pair as well.

Well if he stands by his offer to buy you two cigars, you can't go wrong really. Besides, I am a firm believer of "You never know unless you try it". Let us know how they are.

Altadis has never failed to disappoint me. YMMV
