Just fired up a RP Connie toro. ROTT, too. It arrived around 6 pm yesterday - standard operating procedure for UPS. Unfortunately, I had no say in the method of shipment. Oh, well....

gotta admit, I was unprepared for the sweetness. lol
good cigar so far, but I feel like the sweetness is a little overwhelming, cause it kinda masks some of the other core flavors. The cigar has a nice spice to it on the retrohale, and a nice earthy tobacco note on the draw that I really enjoy. The sweetness that it's leaving on my lips is just so strong that it quickly overpowers the other flavors after the exhale (maybe within5-7 seconds or so).
I'm definitely gonna smoke another one of these in the future because the flavors are simply too interesting to be denied, but I think next time, I will dry box it for about 12hrs prior to smoking it, and I'll drink a nice stout ale with it to wash some of the sweetness off my palate every few puffs.
just lit up a Man O' War PA. Delicious. These cigars never cease to amaze me. Not a novel of complexity, but everything that's there is brilliant... and strong. Love it.

That's the Santiago Sweet. I wish they would've had the Ruby Red or Milan Marble in that vitola...they're both much better, without the sweetness.

That would be ideal... cause the cigar was very good, it just wasn't up to it's potential due to the sweetness. It's a shame they don't make one with the Santiago Sweets wrapper, but without the added sweetness. Construction, burn, and draw were spot on!

Hey Lakota72, I'm having another Ashton ESG this morning with a cup joe. This cigar is so smooth....
