Romeo y Julieta Mini Cigarillos - 1 x Pack of 10

Date Added: Saturday 27 October, 2007 by ArchivedCgarsReviews

I bought one packet each of the Cohiba Minis, the Romeo y Julieta Minis and the Cohiba Clubs. The Cohiba Minis and the Romeo y Julieta Minis are exactly the same size, the Cohiba Clubs are somewhat larger - length about 3.25" vs 3.75" and diameter about 7mm vs 8.5mm - so that I would estimate (using the formula for a tube pi x r2 x l) the Clubs are about 70% larger than the Minis in the end. In terms of smoking time, for myself, I find the Minis last maybe 10 minutes at the outside and the Clubs last 15-20 minutes at the outside.
The Minis are probably too small. It is difficult to get a mouthful of flavour from them. The Clubs are better in this respect. Neither can compare to a proper sized cigar.
Oddly, being somewhat more impressed with Cohibas for flavour generally, I found the Romeo y Julieta Minis had a more rounded and fuller flavour than that of the Cohiba Minis or even, it seems to me, the Cohiba Clubs, even though the Clubs are larger which makes it easier to draw more flavour from them.
Of all of them I would suppose the Cohiba Clubs are the best, however if Romeo y Julieta made Clubs, I suppose I would buy those first.
