"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.

"Decent"
This a good mild smoke, again, nothing special, but a good smoke.

"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.

"Very nice"
Though I am a dedicated Maduro fan I was very, very impressed with this R&J Cedro Deluxe #2. Though not a taste at the top of my personal preference, its' taste is quite good and quite ample. Cannot say it is more than a "medium" taste or "medium" strength cigar but that is surely no criticism.
This is one of those "savor the moment" cigars you smoke when you relax and enjoy some particularly sweet accomplishment like replaying that string of four birdies you had on the back nine earlier in the day. And that is a lot for me to say for a non-Maduro cigar.
Taste aside, everything else about it is first-rate, and the rather modest price is easily justified.

"Simply put... Perfection"
Once upon a time I had the chance to indulge in one of the finest cigars ever made, ever since I have had these beauties permanently stocked in my humidor. I enjoy a great variety of cigars in my humidor, but these are the cigars I smoke when I really want a to pleasure my senses. Have you ever lit up a cigar that you just couldn't draw or taste and were completely Irate? Me too, thats why I always have these on hand, consistent quality that can turn your mood after the first scent of that wonderful cedar aroma. A strong nine out of ten points, I would recommend this cigar to anyone.
