One of the most enjoyable cigars I have experienced. Lots... no seriously LOTS of smoke! Mine lit effortlessly, and despite a reasonable breeze it burnt remarkably evenly all the way to the end. Very well wrapped, it was a firm draw in the first third, with an earthy flavour. The middle third however was a delight, with sweeter tones coming through and maybe even a hint of almond. The final third did become slightly more bitter but only in comparison and was still above average all the way to the end. A great smoke that I have reordered already

A lovely looking cigar with a velvety feel. The cigar starts mildly with fresh, grassy notes that lingers on the tongue. Towards the second third you get a more complex profile consisting of wood, nut, cream and chocolate with a peppery finish. This carries on into the final third opening up new flavours such as dates.
A beautiful tasting cigar which I would have given top marks to if only for one issue. That issue being the wrapper peeling away. It didnt impact the overall session but it was always on the back of my mind as I carefully nursed the cigar to completion.
Expect a leisurely 45 minute smoke and enjoy those wonderful flavours.
Would I buy again? I sure would. 8.5/10.

Not a large cigar but perfect for 20 mins or so. This cigar is lovely and light yet with a creaminess and slight white pepper that lends a certain richness to it. With voluminous smoke for its size, for the price this is all in all a fantastic non-Cuban cigar. On balance of price and graded as a non-Cuban this thoroughly deserves 5 stars.

My first Romeo Y Julieta cigar so I was excited knowing the history of this famous Havana cigar. It is 23 degrees and a gorgeous blue sky day so I am sat outside on my patio. The first half of this cigar was very pleasant and a joy on my palate. The second half’s texture became soft and I had to relight the cigar twice. Given the choice the Por Larranaga Petit Coronas and H Upmann Majrstic offer better value and better quality of burn.

Ha, what a beast of a cigar to handle! If only for this reason its a worthwhile experiment in ones endurance.
This smoker was not overwhelmed by the flavours though preparing for disappointment I was pleasantly surprised to find a bit of sweetness and leathery texture that settled nicely a third in. Its pleasant if not massively engaging but considering just how much smoke there is with this one Id declare this consistency as a bonus. At no point does it become unpleasant or a chore.
Burn was even and construction solid and Ive encountered no problems. Again, a surprise considering its magnitude.
Its hard to deem it a go to smoke, neither the flavour nor the vitola suggests that. But its a great experience all the same and you should try it if you have the time and courage.

As I stated elsewhere for this cigar but in a different vitola, this is a well rounded, pleasant and sufficiently complex stick.
In this reiteration it might be this smokers favourite as it impresses with its construction and a lengthy smoking time allows for this mellow blend to sooth and relax you whilst providing a rewarding, flavoursome experience.
After a dozen plus smoked in various situations it is yet to disappoint- it draws and burns nicely and develops in some subtle yet never overwhelming ways. Perfect for a lazy evening or lunch when you have time to spare.
