La Riqueza: "oh my God this wrapper!"
 
Even though I do most of my buying over the internet, I like to pop in to the neighborhood B&M every couple weeks just to check out what's new. It's kinda cool actually, there's no zoning laws in Houston so the neighborhood cigar shop is literally on the other side of the street. Jealous? :D

Anyhow, I'm a big DPG/Pete Johnson fan, so I had heard of the La Riqueza line but never seen them. All I can say is woah, these are beautiful cigars. I haven't even smoked this bad boy yet but it looks soooo good. The wrapper has this two-tone cocoa look that I usually only see on CCs. Needless to say, I'm excited.

so please, share your opinions on this line. I'll update with a review later tonight. Right now PGA golf is making my eyelids...very...heavy. :sleep:

I think you will like it. They are very good, imo. Which one did you pick up?

Good with a cup of black coffee.

Pete Johnson is certainly making everyone stand up and take notice of his line of cigars. I have not had a bad one and the profile and taste of his cigars are great. Don't know how you can go wrong with any cigar he puts out.

This has become one of my favorites. I picked up the smaller size and loved it. I was really hoping that the flavor profile would stay the same with the bigger sizes so I picked up some belicoso's and they were just as great. Very smooth with alot of chocolate/cocoa flavors going on. Hope you enjoy it!

I really dig the #1 lonsdale and the #5 tres petite corona the best but they are all tasty.

I'm not jealous. :) I lived in Houston for 29 years. What B&M?

The La Riqueza's are awesome! I think they have a very similar taste to the Illusione 68's...a very unique flavor...one of my favs!

I live in Montrose. It's a rather new place called cigar Emporium on Shepperd at Richmond. A very friendly husband and wife own/run the place. They seem like they have a passion for cigars and really enjoy what they do.

'bout to fire up the grill, smoke some yummy Boudin and try out this cigar.

La Riquezza and Cabaguian and Tatuaje Havana IV's are my "go to" smokes when I stop at my B&M, without my small case. good price and excellent cigars, both! :tu

I like the No. 3s and had some No. 5s from a cabinet that were really good. :ss

Nice pickup

I had to buy a box of the #3's (corona gorda) after smoking just one.

Another great PJ smoke is the El Triunfador Lancero. Well worth a try, if you haven't already.

My first was from a box split that Moe did a few months ago, ever since.... :dr

Pete Johnson seems to be doing something right! :tu

The La Riqueza #2 is an amazing smoke. You will not be disappointed.

Not long ago CigarMonster had a Pete Johnson 6 stick sampler that included a La Riquezza for $21. When I saw that I ordered 2! :dr
