Afternoon Bob,
I suspect that you're referring to Mario Palomino that was, back in the day, probably the 3rd most popular brand from Jamaica had a deeper 'Jamaican' syrup (but I smoked them aged before aged was a thing) than the RJs. Creme de Jamaica and Jose Edmundo (my first cigar) were smaller brands and there were a few others but I can't think of them now. A hurricane (don't remember the name) wiped out factories and companies, sadly, decided not to rebuild.
For those who never tried one of these Jamaican cigars they had a rich, warm honeyed molasses taste layered over earth and leather that varied in intensity between brands. Very unique flavor that's lost to cigar smokers.

Doing battle with these. Pardons to anyone who likes RP but I have yet to find a line of theirs that don't have significant QC issues and these may be the worst. No two sticks smoke or taste the same. Poor burn (pretty much all), constant relighting and touch-up that alters the flavor. I don't get along with Manual Quesada made cigars (not a QC issue, I just don't like his blending) and I've bought my last RP. Unfortunately I have about 100 left to smoke! :). On the other hand, I seem to like just about anything that AJ Fernandez makes. Some of smoking enjoyment is personal chemistry and of course taste but these RP Broadleaf Churchills aren't fun when you need to fight them all the way down. Try the Pioneer Valley and Graycliffe G2 (both in maduro) that are superior broadleaf sticks and less expensive.
Just finished a Ramon Bueso Genesis Project from my friend @WNYTONY
I actually had a fiver of these in my cart on my last order, but to keep in budget I ended up cutting them loose until my next order. After having this one, I will make sure they go back in the cart, very tasty stick, thanks Tony.

I've only had the Genesis and they are not bad ROTT! But give them at least 6 months rest and they become VERY nice. If you can give them a year, watch out!!

A little mid-week golf before the season ends. Paul Garmirian and AJ Fernandez met me at the course and Mr. Sam showed up afterwards https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...37b8e1c1a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4219fcf82.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6fac850e3c.jpg
