Long Time Favorite , 3/11/2021 By Richard

This is one of my favorites in the R&J line along with the Belicoso.
A bit off the track from the R&J profile, but that gives it it's own uniqueness.
Loads of flavor and complexities that increase in strength til the end.
Definitely need some humidor time after you purchase them.

I think it gets a bad reputation being labelled the strongest Cuban cigar. That might give some smokers reservations about a purchase.

Not a bad smoke, I found it very peppery and spicy. Heavier than a normal Romeo profile. Love the size. Thank you.

My previous review was prior to giving them enough time. Some boxes or brands seem to need a little more time in a stable humidor before they show their true character. I think that is true about the Cazadores.
I would not label them as powerful as the main description does, but they have developed a nice complexity and richness that I really enjoy. I think the wrapper/binder/filler ratio is more flavorful in this vitola. After a year in the humidor, I actually have plume on these bad boys.
Good smoke, especially if you like lonsdales and give them some time.

These are billed as "Old School Cuba." They are a nice flavorful smoke. I have had a little difficulty getting the draw to free up on them. I do not like to fight with a cigar and the lonsdale vitola is sometimes a challenge. They are not overly complex, but are good smoke for the price point.

Not Nearly As Strong And Complex As Reviews Say... , 7/25/2016 By Cody

After reading reviews that this was 'one of the strongest cigars out of cuba' I thought, 'i have to have some'. Very good cigar, HOWEVER not even close to strong, I would give it medium at best. Aroma in box was insane, grass, ammonia, barnyard, leather, vinegar. First light was full of cedar but not strong, cigar evolved from cedar to cedar and grass and a bit of the pre light barn yard smell...thats it.

All together a great cigar, but for price I would go with something else. Sancho Panza Non Plus is an ocean deeper than this cigar and the Partagas Petit Corona Eapecial is a solid 10 times stronger and 4 times deeper, both are significantly cheaper.

Romeo y Julieta Cazadores is strong upon first light, but settles down into a smooth but full flavor body. The best flavors come through the nose. Fairly strong cigar, but I like my sticks that way. The box I got was perfect and though I know most put these down for a couple years, I smoked one right off the truck to see where they were at. Perfect construction and smoked beautifully, when I was finished I had three long solid ash chunks and a small nub. A testament to the cigar itself, but also how much care is taken in packing and shipping of the cigars from cigar terminal.

Possibly the strongest Havana in production today. Brutal when young, but after a while, showcases the RyJ line with quality tobacco, flowers and even hints of fruit.

Great complex smoke , 9/7/2015 By James

I have read many reviews of this cigar, and figured I'd try it. I had one from LCDH and really enjoyed it, and bought 2 boxes from my friends at CT.
After a brief rest in my humidor, then dry boxing it for 3 days, I lit one up last night and it was terrific. The cigar itself seemed somewhat hard and dry, which caused me some concern, but when I cut into the cap I smelled some barnyard and dark earth, and when I lit it up it drew perfectly and was a very well made cigar, needing only one small tough up through the end. The flavors are very strong and complex, with subtle changes throughout, and a gradual strengthening with spices, pepper and cedar. Glad I got 2 boxes, and will put one down for 4-6 years if I can resist temptation.

for me a Romeo y Julieta Cazadores is a cigar with one of the best flavors evolution, every single puff is different from the other, caffe, cacao, pepper, vanilla, nuts, leather, wood.
If you are able to let him age for a couple of year you will be rewarded with a fantastic smoke.

Amazing with Age , 9/4/2014 By Marc

Perhaps one of the strongest young cigars I've smoked. Very overwhelming when young, but with a year or two of age they began to mellow and turn into something just shy of fantastic.
