RyJ Anyone?

I went through a corojo-period long ago and smoked a few Habana Reserve. And if I go into a B&M that doesn't have anything I want, I'll sometimes pick up a Romeo. Otherwise, I find better value for my money in cigars other than General/Altadis. They just don't do it for me. I suspect that due to the volume of business they do, in order to maintain consistency, they have to forgo so much outstanding, but scarcer tobacco. If they can't be assured of having many years of nearly identical leaf in huge quantities, they miss out on some of the tastier leaf available to 'boutiques'....just a 'theory'
