Construction
It has a firm touch and is well - filled. The foot is tight without looking over - packed, and the triple cap lies neatly on the head. It offers a clean punch cut and a great draw with slight resistance, rated 4/5.
Flavor
- One third: It starts lightly. The thin smoke is pungent and sweet, with flavors of honey, caramel, and coffee. The aftertaste is clean and short.
- Two thirds: Similar to the first part but adds toasted bread flavors. The honey/caramel aroma turns into a strong sweet cherry flavor. More smoke, no aftertaste, and light - medium body with nicotine build - up past the halfway point.
- Three thirds: The sweetness fades. It steps up to medium body, and the nicotine power builds up.
Value
Due to lack of consistency and price, it has a value rating of 3.5/5. It may not be worth investing in large quantities unless it becomes more consistent.
The Romeo y Julieta Churchill was released before 1960 and is popular among both occasional and seasoned smokers. It's a classic cigar that can be a great addition to a regular rotation if the quality is maintained.
