Romeo y Julieta

Reserva Real Nicaragua

Great flavor smokes well

Pretty good cigar what to expect that Romeo and Juliet lots of hay earthy tones

Smooth good not elite

Bit spicy, pepper, strong

Excellent construction, draw, burn, ash. Pleasant flavor in the middle, but that's 1/3 of the stick. Given its high quality in other categories, seems like it's one tweak to the blend - particularly at the front end - from being a really nice cigar. 4 months in the humidor and no discernable changes aside from a slightly stronger finish.

Third time is the charm, right? Been in the humidor since April 10th. Nice even burn, held the ash to 2". Still a char flavor right off the bat, but quickly gave way to earth then cream and hay. Middle remains the best part of this cigar. For comparison, I think AJ Fernandez's Ramon Allones is a better cigar. This is pleasant, unobtrusive, but you have to stop and think about the flavor and I'm just not that smart by the end of the day.
