Size doesn't matter when it comes to the Romeo y Julieta Petit Julietas. A delicious little smoke, packed with flavor. Notes of dark chocolate, oak, moss, and earth enrich this cigar. The burn is perfect throughout, aided by its sublime build. Draw is wonderful, as expected. An inexpensive fix, ideal for that twenty minute break.

I've been wanting to try the Short Churchill for a while and I wasn't disappointed. What a great cigar and a perfect size. It had an excellent burn with strong ash and wonderful smoke. It was a lovely mild, sweet, nutty flavour and lasted me just under an hour. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I am reviewing this again because I believe I previously had a bad cigar which CGars kindly replaced for me. This was a really pleasant smoke. Nice and mild with a creamy taste and nice even burn. For the price this is an excellent little cigar.

Late Friday, long week at work, nice fire in the field and Glastonbury playing I'm the back ground on the day we left Europe! In celebration I could think of nothing better to try from the humidor that a R&J Churchill... First up, this is a substantial cigar, and I mean substantial. I have smoked short Churchills for a long time, but size wise this is a big step up. Flawless construction. As soon as I started to toast the foot I knew it was going to be good, and boy o boy was I right. Draw is perfect, smoke initially cold, smooth and so creamy. Burn is flawless all the way down. This cigar slowly warms up, and as it does it gets slowly stronger, but, it never looses the smooth creaminess, it just gains power, beautifully controlled power. An absolutely awesome smoke, the best R&J I've had by a mile. Up there with the Cohiba piramides and Ramon Allones specially selected at the moment. some more of these will definatley be in the humidor soon!

Rather disappointed with this. It was a very tight draw and produced very little smoke. It burned very unevenly and went out towards the end. By no means unpleasant and at times was a nice, mild smoke, but overall not great.

I had a pretty awful week last week and it didn't seem like anything would turn it around, wrong! I was chosen as one of this months taste challengers after only registering for the scheme a few days before and was told I would be receiving three lovely Havana's. I couldn't wait to find out which cigars I would be sent and was not disappointed when it was the Romeo y Julieta Corona. The delicate pleasure conduits were placed into my humidor to recover from the journey.
Upon first inspection the three cigars didn't seem to be the best constructed for what I have come to expect from the brand, although they seemed fair enough if not a little rough and veiny. The three cigars varied from each other enough in appearance that I would guess they were likely to have come from a small pack rather than from a box of 25.
The wrapper was a nice Colorado shade, perhaps slightly lighter, which I found unusual for such a mild smoke as the R y J. The aroma was pleasing but the cigars seemed to be rather young. The cigars did however seem to be quite firm
