Details
Romeo y Julieta Cazadores - 25 cigars [6.4" x 43]
Full flavored, full bodied.
- • Pungent aromas of coffee and leather with strong tobacco, earth and toasted spice.
- • Black pepper pounds the palate.
Arguably the strongest cigar coming out of Cuba. A great digestive paired with Armagnac.
Presentation
Romeo y Julieta Cazadores - 25 cigars comes in a wooden box with Habanos Packing Code CB-UW-A/F-M-n-25
Dimensions:
Length: 162 mm
Diameter: 17.07 mm
Ring gauge: 43
Shape: Robusto
Appearance:
Dark rustic wrapper.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
Bold oak presence suggests that this cigar is high in carotene a foretelling sign of great aging potential.
Burn/ Draw
A great burn with a firm draw.
Initial third:
Starts out with a shot of toasted black pepper, tobacco with some dry espresso and some cocoa. Earthy.
Middle third:
More pepper, gets stronger in the hay, exotic spice, bitter coffee. Leaves the lips a slight touch salty.
Final third:
All out strong pepper, coffee and spice. Requires at least 10+ years of age to reach its finest. Buy a couple of boxes and set them aside. Smoke one every six months after the first year and see how the flavors mature. You’ll be tickled pink.
In summary, strong but classic old-school Cuba.
Smoking time:
90 - 120 Minutes

Long Time Favorite

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. -
Different To Normal RYJ

By Patricia - 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. -
Nice Evening Smoke

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...

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.
