Royal Jamaica Cigar, January 1, 2009
By Rootwolf

"I am enjoying an 'oro rojo' right now. This is a very pretty cigar in the humidor, and I have been saving it since September for a special occasion. I decided New Years Eve was such an occasion and lit it last night. The foil wrapper was very easy to remove, first by removing the band at the foot and then the top band. I was pleased to discover a second band beneath the foil at the top. I like to leave my bands intact so as to enjoy the art as I smoke the cigar. People who rip the band off before lighting annoy me. I clip my cigars and the 'oro rojo' clipped nicely, leaving an ample amount of cap to keep the wrapper in place. As I danced the heat from my torch around the foot of the cigar it took a ring of fire easily and glowed proudly. The first draw was smooth. Thick bellows of smoke were produced and the fire burned evenly as I continued to the half way point. At five minuets till midnight I went inside popped some champagne and watched the ball drop. Then fell asleep on the couch. Now I am back up, I have relit my 'oro rojo' and am welcoming a great year of many fine cigars to enjoy. This cigar has relit well and is burning evenly to the finish. I have enjoyed many premium cigars and find this one to be very satisfying."
