Moving to a new factory doesn't seem to have had any negative impact on the flavor or performance of this line. It is still a well balanced blend of flavor and strength. The Jas Sum Kral Red Knight Toro smokes as well as the other sizes in the line and I would have no problem going back to this cigar on a semi regular basis.
The Lonsdale really hits the spot giving plenty of flavors without putting me in a daze. While perhaps not my favorite out of all the Red Knight vitolas, this is my pick for a daily cigar when bench marking against all of Riste's offerings.
A cigar with a dry and earthy profile, consistently fairly strong nicotine throughout the entire smoking experience. This cigar isn't for the faint hearted. If you enjoy a bold cigar, this is not one to pass up.
For the experienced smoker that likes full strength and flavor, it might be something that they fall in love with.
