Tonight I smoke the Romeo y Julieta Churchill which featured a nice triple cap and a firm even pack however little squishy at the foot other than that construction looks great with a lovely smooth wrapper with hardly any tooth and lovely tight seems the aroma of this stick is a nice honey and dry hay.
Wow what a cigar is all I can say from first light, amazing draw just a slight resistance and lots of lovely thick smoke, flavour wise lots of sweet desert like notes such as honey and almost a summer fruit sort of flavour, on the finish a really nice dried hay which is lasting well into the next draw
37 min in still lovely smoke output ash fell off in a solid chunk about an inch at a time which was a shame but other than that great burn line and the smoke is still nice and cool probably due to the size and distance the smoke has to travel. flavour wise slight pepper spice on the draw with a nice toasty coffee note lurking around the main flavours however is still that fruity floral note and the dry hay there's also a slight woody note coming through but it's not a ceder more like an

These Perlas are really quite deceptive, initially, hints of sweet hay, developing into more complex citrus/cocoa flavours. An even easy draw, with a consistent burn, not a hint of excessive heat towards the end, finally a deep chocolate flavour. All noted by previous reviewers, but in varying degrees, as I have found to my pleasure. I can see why these have been given several awards, and deservedly so! A thoroughly enjoyable 45 minutes taken with a good Columbian coffee.

Lovely 50 minute smoke, woody and creamy with some pepper down the nose, a real nice smoke. Looked boxed pressed. A real nice flavour, didn't disappoint me at all, went nice with some coffee. Plenty of smoke, stayed consistent all the way down, good burn, I will definitely be getting some more of these.

This is definitely a respectable cigar. However, I believe you have to have an acquired taste to enjoy these cigars... I personally don't enjoy the spiciness and peppery hints this has to offer, but many people think the opposite, its just personal choice I guess...

A slow burner with a woody taste throughout. Pale smoke with first third notes of coconut cream, biscuit and lemon meringue (a subtle citrus spritz). Second third changed dramatically towards more darker fruit - plum crumble (again with the biscuit, this time with a hint of hazelnut). A great pudding cigar which is best smoked to the point where the flavours disappear, sometime into the last third.

Romeo y Julieta No. 3 Tubed Cigar - 1 Single
by Terence
Can't fault the No. 3 really. In smoking my first one I realised that I am more of an Upmanns man but certainly not because there is any major fault with the Romeo No 3. The first 3rd although very mild is intriguing and friendly in pronouncing what's come. I pared it with an Italian espresso but only for the first 3rd. By the second 3rd I had a glass of beer beside me and, I hate to admit, was listening to a bit of Chopin. The second is when the character of the cigar came home and, like the best cuban cigars I have so far smoked, the cigar insisted of reminding me of all the people and hard work that went in to building such a fine thing. I am not the best in describing flavours but I can tell that when I start to think deeply about the work behind my smoke is when I know am smoking something that will be memorable to me. Final 3rd; I have to admit, this is the first time I have had to re-light a cuban cigar but I wasn't all that bothered, it's a well built cigar regardless. As to be expected, a cigar this size gets a bit hot and challenging towards the end but it's got a good spic
