It's a RyJ vintage toro. Wonderful caramel colored wrapper, little toothy/fuzzy, the finest veins you can ever see in a wrapper. It's perfectly in the round and seamless, cap was perfect, and so far, it's smoking as straight as a razor. a few little sparkles of bloom, and it has that fantastic, beautiful classic red and gold band.

Too bad the thing is sending smoke behind my reading glasses, because smoking this blend has always been sort of like adding listerine to the visine.

What ones do you guys think of as the Charlize Theron of cigars?

RyJ is one of the few Altadis USA cigar I still enjoy smoking. I've never had the Toro, but I've always enjoyed the #3 Robusto.

I've always thought Opus X are incredibly beautiful cigars...if you overlook the WWE title belt bands. I still think they suck, and they're over-hyped and -priced, but they are beautiful.

Davidoff makes beautiful cigars, and like movie stars they are pricey.

AF between the lines for me.

The Gran Habano Fuerte is a shiny, beautiful cigar as is the CAO Traviata and any of the Kristoff lines.

I agree regarding the Opus X and BTL. In fact, Fuente products are generally well-made.

I think the Litto Gomez Small Batch is the best looking cigar though ...

Illusione cigars are very elegant in appearance. Especially the epernay line.
