Just like their smaller brothers these benefit from a month or two in a humidor. Then you get a nice smooth, creamy and relaxing smoke with no bitterness. On smoking one of these in my local pub's beer garden another customer commented "You look as if you're enjoying that." Says it all really.

These are a sublime smoke. I found mine quite easy going but not lacking in flavour. These will be regulars in my collection.

Great smoke. This was my first Romeo y Julieta cigar and it was light and smooth with a fairly even burn (it started getting a little uneven at the start of the final third) and held its ash well. It went very well with a cappuccino. Creamy throughout and got a little spicy in the final third. I haven't given it 5 stars as there are others I prefer, although I found this a great afternoon/ lunchtime smoke and will likely get some more.

I've had several of these in the humidor, but I've been increasingly concerned about one that was developing a split from the foot end so I decided to smoke it yesterday before it disintegrated entirely. I always use a punch rather than a cutter, and the cap survived being punched well, although the base of the cigar did unravel slowly as I smoked it.
In terms of flavour, this was as good as always, and given the problem with the split the burn was fairly steady most of the way down. However, by the time I reached the band the base of the cigar was also unravelling quickly and it was becoming increasingly difficult to get any sort of draw without putting half the cigar into my mouth. I eventually gave up with about one third left as it was becoming impossible to smoke.
This is the first of these that I've had any sort of quality issue with, and although I'm keeping an eye on the last couple I have in the humidor they are looking fine. Hopefully this was just a one off, and on this basis I'm going with four stars.

I agree with everything all the other reviews have said about this cigar for the price it is an absolute steal. I got it in the budget small cuban sampler which also includes some big names but this stood out and I will be buying more of these to fill up the humidor.

Not bad for £5. 30-40 min smoke. would buy it again.
