Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill Cigar - Box of 10

Date Added: Sunday 12 November, 2023 by Joe

Bought a box of 10 of these from Turmeaus Chester early this year, ive now smoked them all so a good time to review. 1 in the box had a tight draw and was difficult to get on with but the other 9 cigars were flawless. Really enjoyable complex flavours and a really easy draw. This brand always stands out for me and just seems to have a greater range of flavour than other brands. Really enjoyed the short Churchill and will potentially treat myself to another box for Christmas.

I bought these on the basis that they would potentially be a shortened version of the full Churchill which is a beautiful cigar and smoke, the cigar it's self looks good with a well defined triple cap, upon lighting the draw was perfect but gradually got tighter, I think these cigars contains an excessive amount of tar that builds up in the cigar reducing the draw, the flavor is of toasted tobacco at first then a fruity citrus taste that ensues to the end, a big problem was severe uneven burning issues which could not be solved by rotating the cigar, I had to keep using my lighter to burn off the uneven rapper, I have smoked 3 of 10 and this has happened to all three cigars, I also think the tar coats the inside of your mouth thus reducing the ability to taste, the cigar also went out twice thus having to relight, to my mind there is no comparison to the full Churchill which I enjoy immensely, the ring gauge is also thicker 50 compered 47 and is a bit intimidating, will smoke another 3 or 4 then put another review on but at the moment I am not to overly impressed with these cigars
