Romeo y Julieta Mini Cigarillos - Pack of 10
by alexandru
I've purchase this as a quick smoke. Reviews were fairly good but I was however disappointed. Burn is not even and taste and aroma not consistent. Quite harsh. Not the quality I was expecting from RyJ, even for a cigarillo. Soft and mushy at the ends. The construction is poor. Too many air pockets and one of them had a big chunk of wood inside that left a hole in it.
I had smokes from gas station better than these. And we all know how crappy those are.

Not my favorite RyJ, but a nice little 45 minute stick none the less. Throughout I was treated to the taste of wood, leather and earth, with a little hint of spice on the finish. Fantastic smoke output and well constructed overall.

A nice tasting cigar with a good body. Nice earthy flavours throughout and smoke didn't get hot, even at the end. Good even burn and drew very well, with a good solid construction. After taste was very nice on the tongue, no bitterness at all. Good for those 30 minute slots. I paired with a Pinot Noir red wine, not conventional, but seemed to work well! Overall a good stick for the money. Will order the Regius selection box next!

Great Smoke, Perfect Pub Pint when smoking outdoors here in the UK during colder months. Around 30 minutes of pure pleasure. Enjoyed it so much that I was a little sad when the Cigar ended! EXCELLENT! Buying some more now!

Bought two of these recently. The first was very good indeed. Not quite as flavoursome as my favourite Partagas and Bolivar equivalents but enjoyable all the same. However the second was absolutely awful. The construction, burn and draw were terrible. I had to keep relighting to stop it from tunnelling, the draw was very tight and there was hardly any smoke or flavour whatsoever. I recently had the misfortune of sampling a Cuaba Divino, which are made at the same factory, with similar results. Unfortunately 1 from 3 is not a good ratio at all. I think I'll be steering clear of this brand in the future.

Regius Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
This cigar left me feeling puzzled and disappointed. After reading the favourable reviews here I was quite optimistic. Not sure what went wrong but the cigar tasted pretty much like a big cigarette. Lasted around 50 minutes. The draw was near perfect but with a normal draw I would get hardly any smoke... Had to draw quite hard to get decent smoke and it just tasted of smoke. Maybe I got a bad one but I won't be ordering again to find out. Reminded me a lot of the Quorum brand but didn't taste as strong. Not exactly a compliment.
