Romeo y Julieta Piramides Anejados - 25 cigars

Romeo y Julieta Piramides Anejados - 25 cigars [6.1" x 52]

Romeo y Julieta Piramides Anejados are a new Linea of Habanos Anejados (Aged Habanos) released in 2015, with cigars from a 2008 production year.

• • Habanos Añejados have been aged in Cuba, in perfect conditions of preservation, for a minimum of five years. The concept “Añejado” (Aged) is presented for the first time by Habanos.
• • Romeo y Julieta Piramides Anejados already rolled and aged in Cuba for 5 to 8 years, in perfect conditions of preservation, which has enabled them to gain shades and complexity without losing their initial organoleptic characteristics.
• • These cigars are presented as a special edition in limited quantities which make them unique. This new series carry a second Añejado band, as well as the Romeo y Julieta brand band.
  

Because of the aging process, the cigars retain many of their original characteristics but have become “rounder and mellower to the palate” while adding touches of wood because of the longer exposure to the cedar boxes that they are placed in while resting. The cigars rest in the same boxes in which they will arrive at retail, though the artwork does not get applied until just before shipping.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up:

Aromas of barnyard, toffee, coca and a touch of earth emerge from the foot and the wrapper of the cigar. The pre-light draw is perfect.

Burn/Draw:

Smooth and easy draw with a very even burn line

Initial third:  

The first third greets you with flavors of honey, caramel and earth. Overall it is very creamy and sweet, but there is a bit of bitterness with a hint of wood. The balance of flavors is awesome and the flavors are medium in strength. The cigar reveals its complexity all along this first third, some coffee, some dry fruits, bitter chocolate, and some leather aromas. In the background, there are also some notes of cedar. The amount of smoke produced by the cigar is generous and the burn line is nice.

Middle third:

In the second third the cigar settles down and the Anejados is now sweeter. Honey, vanilla and coffee are the main flavors, with some cedar and earth still in the background. The body is still medium and the cigar draws well.

Final third:

The last third reveals a slightly stronger cigar, with a medium to full body, where all the flavors are even more noticeable, like in the first third. We get the strong flavors of bitter chocolate, soil, leather and wood again while the sweeter and creamier flavors fade away. It never gets too bitter nevertheless, so the final third is still much enjoyable. The smoke created by the Anejados is still plenty and the cigar never gets too hot or too harsh anywhere in the last draws.

In summary, it kicks off with sweet and earthy flavors turning to sweet on the second third and finishing off with a bit of a kick. Great progression for a cigar of its size.

These cigars will suit the more experienced palate.

Smoking time:   60 Minutes
