I agree with the Pad 2000 and FdO. I would suggest you try the FdO in maduro, it has a more rounded profile and is sweeter, without the bitterness, imo.

You need to smoke more cigars from the same country as the RyJ. I'm thinkin' that your views on this cigar may change a bit. Don't get me wrong, it is a solid cigar, I just think you gave away your 100 a tad too early.

I don't enjoy the Cohiba XV or the Cienfuegos. The Cohiba is over rated and over priced imho, and the Cienfuegos is unsmokeable to me.

Can't speak to the Kristoff.
