Romeo y Julieta Coronitas en Cedro - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on November 11, 2016):

For the price this cigar is great value. It has all the trade mark flavours of a good Cuban, especially RYJ's. Problem is that because of the size, you will be tempted to spark up another.

Great box smell, with all that extra cedar wrapping. All the cigars had a light dusting of mould under the cedar wraps, so I had to unroll each one and give it a quick wipe with a tissue before putting box into my coolador at 65-67%. No chance of mould coming back, and after 7 months there is not a sign of reoccurence.

Each cigar is affected by a tight draw which has you trying a little bit too hard to get a nice mouthful of smoke, but what you get is lovely once you get the right technique going. Was double puffing but found a nice even and strong draw would deliver much nicer flavours and keep the temp of the stick down.

Cedar, hay with hints of both chocolate and/or fruity spice as you go down the stick. The midway point, when cigar often opens up, seems to be my favourite part of this cigar, closer to the nub also gives you the full blast of flavours and strength, just be careful not to get carried away and over heat it, this ruins the flavour and leaves you with a squishy hot nub.

Surprisingly long smoke for the size, I could get around 50 mins+ if I took it easy and savoured it.

For the price this is a cigar you should have packed in the humidor next to a couple of boxes of the Partagas Mille Fleurs.
