Romeo Y Julieta No. 2 Review


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I like the idea of doing written reviews of cigars so I am going to try writing one out for one of my go-to cigars, the Romeo Y Julieta No. 2.

I have tried the Romeo Y Julieta No. 2 several times and I generally like it.  It is of course a Cuban cigar, a Petit Corona with a lighter colour, Colorado.  It is rated as a medium flavour.  Without further ado, let us get into how it turned out.

1st third: It was a warm and sunny day and I was in my backyard talking on video chat with my brother.  I lit the cigar, and as I have become accustomed to, I was hit with a lot of flavour.  I don't remember much more than what I would describe as a strong and bitter flavour.

2nd third:  The 2nd third was milder and was the best part of the cigar.  It was still bitter but it calmed down from the burst that it started out with and I found it be pretty smooth.  

3rd third:  The third third saw the transition from a calmer and smooth flavour into a smokier and harsher draw.  I hung on for a while but eventually put it down because I don't really like this part of a cigar past a certain point.  

Overall, I would rate the cigar as 75 points out of 100.  The Romeo Y Julieta No. 2 is nostalgic for me because I first smoked one in Cuba during a really lovely trip and I have been smoking them for a long time.  I think it's a smooth cigar and it's an enjoyable experience but I didn't find a lot of unique flavours or flavours that I loved like I have found in cigars like the Macanudo Inspirado Broadleaf.  I will smoke it again because it has a sentimental value and it is enjoyable but it won't be as much at the top of my list after spending some time thinking about it.

Hope y'all enjoyed and that you have a lovely day!

The roller most likely washed his/her hands prior to starting their shift.

It would certainly explain your lack of enjoyment with this particular cigar.

That “Cuban Twang” we so desire, immediately goes out the window when they do that. No bueno. Trust me.

If you ever had the privilege of visiting a factory, you’ll notice that they do not put any jabón in the washrooms.

You’ll never see a sign stating that “employees must wash their hands” in Cuba neither.

Next time you smoke a Sancho Panza and you get those salty driftwood notes, do not be alarmed.

Your palate isn’t shot. You are indeed tasting salty wood.

It simply isn’t the salty wood you find on a beach. Catch my drift?

No pun intended. 😜

Oh man, I haven’t laughed out loud reading anything in a while. My wife was concerned I may have a fever for a min, then she had the same reaction when she read it!
