The Romeo y Julieta No. 2 was one of the first Cuban cigars I really sat down and paid attention to, and I can see why it’s considered a classic. From the first puff, it had this elegance that made me slow down and appreciate what was happening. The flavors are smooth and refined—wood, leather, and a touch of spice, but nothing harsh. There’s also a creamy sweetness that reminded me of almonds or marzipan, which played beautifully with the cedar notes. The construction was flawless: even burn, steady draw, and that lovely white Cuban ash that you hear people talk about. It felt like it was teaching me what a well-made cigar should be. As it developed, I picked up some floral undertones and a little bit of nuttiness, which made each puff feel slightly different. I smoked this slowly, and it rewarded me with over an hour of satisfaction without ever becoming bitter. Honestly, as someone exploring cigars seriously for the first time, this felt like a big step up in quality and enjoyment. It gave me a real appreciation for why Cuban cigars are so highly regarded.
