A real palate cleanser. First third, juicy apples, chewing gum and lemon curd. Second third, salt and pepper. Last third, nothing but clean smoke. Uncomplicated. Simples!

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.

An immediate favourite and five stars. Flawless construction. Tastes of varnished wood, cinnamon and cloves (Christmas!). An amazing perfumed aroma of lemon-ice, honeysuckle and vanilla. A pleasant cigar to smoke in company. A sweet sherry, caramel and gingerbread finish (again with the Christmas!). Perfection

A good solid stick giving a flawlessly clean smoke throughout. Full of fresh outdoor garden flavours (earth and grass). A washed herby undertone (fresh watercress) gives this cigar such a clean taste. Very memorable

Earthy, animal smell to the wrapper pre-light but not unpleasant. First third gave out a slight dusty taste (cocoa powder) but tons of grassy notes, which seems to be a signature flavour for this brand. A salty, seaweed aftertaste on the lips from the wrapper but a fresh and clean smoke throughout, almost herbal.

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
