Hello everyone, todays cigar is the Romeo Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso. I have had this cigar since last year when I recieved it from my good friend Mike. Since that time it has been sitting in my humidor sleeping away. I have smoked this cigar before, sometime in 2008, but really don’t remember much about it. So with the history behind us, lets get to the review.
CIGAR MAKE UP:
WRAPPER: Nicaraguan
BINDER & FILLER: Nicaraguan / Honduran & Nicaraguan
Length/Ring: 6 1/8 X 52
Shape: Belicoso
Strength: Medium
My Observations: The leaf wrapper is very cool looking due to its reddish color. It was rolled perfectly and I didn’t find anything to complain about. On the finger touch inspection, I did find some soft spots but nothing to get excited about.
Cigar Label: Nicely done with its maroon, white, gold, and black coloring. Its very old school looking.
Snip:”V” cut.
Pre-Draw: This cigar has an extremely loose draw. I guess I will really be able to detect the flavors then (LOL).
Flavors: The 1st third of this cigar consisted of a a strong cedar wood taste. I kind of felt that I was actually smoking a tree branch then a cigar. After a couple of puffs I began to also taste small hints of earth as well. The 2nd third consisted of the strong cedar wood taste, earth, and a little charcoal. The last third didn’t change much, which was a big disappointment for me. I truly thought it was going to be a better experience.
Draw: Very loose.
Burn line: The burn seem to be all over the place and I did have to touch it up several times.
Price? $ 26.00 for a five pack.
Drink of choice? Water.
Smoke Time? Approximately an hour.
Liked it? No!
Recommend it? No!
Hint? Sorry guys, not this time!
Over All
Until Next Time

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with this one. Last time I smoke one I thought, “if a Romeo fan is looking for a fuller-bodied experience, this would fit the bill. Others need not apply.”
