I bought this a part of a “budget Cuban “ sampler together with a travel humidor. As a lover of RyJ, it saddens me to say that I derived little or no pleasure from this example. As others have report it had a tight draw. It burned reasonably evenly and produced sufficient smoke for a petit , however, I found it harsh and without much flavour at all. It reminded me of the cheap and nasty’s smoked which I had little choice but to endure as a teenager many, many moons ago. I was tempted to stub it out after the first quarter but but thought a RyJ deserved to be given a little more time. Very much regret to say it didn’t improve and called time on it at three quarters. Fortunately it didn’t cost me much and the disappointment was tempered somewhat in that knowledge. Perhaps I happened upon a poor example but life it too short to endure a poor smoke. On a positive note, it means I can move on to better experiences. If you are tempted I sincerely hope you have a better experience.

My example had a small tear in the wrapper but other than that the construction seemed fine. How wrong I was. The burn was constantly uneven.....this later turned into canoeing. Later on strange cavities appeared in several places. The wrapper also needed to be re-glued. CGars gave me a full refund. Turning now to the smoking experience this wasnt much better. I found it to be extremely light bodied.....so much so it was hard to tell that it was Cuban. Sometimes it was a little harsh and then there would be very brief moments of peppery potential. All in all a total disappointment.....especially after reading all of the good reviews on this website. Considering that for not much more cash you can be smoking a H. Upmann I cannot recommend this cigar at all. H Upmann seem to do light bodied cigar with flavour better than most. 2.8 stars.

This had great potential but was so tight it was hard to draw enough smoke into my mouth to be able to really taste. It was milder than I had expected but now and again gave a hint of what it might have been had it been less tight. Towards the end the wrapper split which was annoying. I’d try another but at this price the quality control needs to be improved.

Excellent value for money well made and its British!
probably last a life time and useful as a pocket knife for other jobs once its been sharpened a little bit more.

Nice surprise. Acquired this in a sample pack. Really impressed with the flavour. Plenty of Cuban flavour.

Romeo y Julieta No. 1 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Stinius
To start of, this was my second no.1 this week and i wanted to wait until the second one, before I wrote my review. After smoking it twice I am in no doubt that this is one of my favorites till’ now. The pre-draw gives a nice and creamy taste that fills up your expectations. Because of lack of preparation, we were missing a cutter and therefore had to punch it. Surprisingly enough, I ended up with a really nice draw throughout the cigar.
The first 1/3 of the cigar contains a nice and wholesome flavor that reminds me of a creamy, yet intense coffee. Later in the cigar, the smoke becomes more cloudy and the flavor turns more woody and earthy. Which, for me, is how it should be. The cigar is a nice 1 hour smoke and is definitely a good catch for the price. My first cigar contained a nice flavor and a creamy smoke until the very end, meanwhile the second one lasted a bit shorter. Both of the cigar had an even burn all throughout.
For this price and size, this is definitely one of my new favorites.
