Cuban Romeo y Julieta desde 1875 short Churchill
Aroma: light sweet aroma with a hint of spice.
Flavor and body: Medium bodied cigar. Very toasty and creamy on the tongue. On the first third there is sweetness with a flavor that’s between raisin and cinnamon, (but it’s neither). Has a hint of cedar, and spice on the retro hale. Smoke is still very smooth on the second third. The spice kicks up a bit, but more on the white pepper side as opposed to black pepper and cayenne like the Nicaraguan tobacco. The sweetness transitioned more toward the raisin side and the cedar is more pronounced teaming with a bit of earthy ness coming onto the palate. Side note ( even though the wrapper looked round; it felt a bit squared in my hand). In the final third the earthyness, cedar, spice, and sweetness married very well into what was an all around pleasurable smoking experience. Maybe it sat in La Casa Del Habano’s cabinets aging for a while because it was aged pretty well in my opinion. Never really got any ammonia or harshness in the foot smoke. Wasn’t the best cigar I’ve ever had because i tend to like stronger cigars with the cayenne and black pepper spice, but it was really enjoyable and paired well with my Lakewood Temptress beer (has a robust coffee flavor). I would say this would be a nice morning or mid day smoke. (Band was glued to tight, which made it hard to take off, but I didn’t destroy my wrapper) smoke smell like burning cedar at the end.
