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

Divine right from the start, my favourite so far, though I have only just started, lasted me a good 45 minutes and I only put it down because it was burning me. I got a lovely creamy chocolate to start with changing into a woody flavour with hints of spice.
I will definitely be getting some more of these, build is excellent, not too tight and easy draw, a delight to smoke. I had a glass of sangria which (for me) was nice and complemented it well, again this is a personal choice, I thought a whiskey might over power it.
I'm still learning so don't judge me too harshly, cigars I'm finding are a very personal experience and this one was delightful. I can't sing its praises enough and for the price even a Yorkshire man like myself can't complain.
