Product Introduction

Tasting Notes

• First third: There is a little sweetness, freshness like a garden after rain, and an airy, almost 'menthol' character.
• Second third: It has a traditional Romeo y Julieta flavour profile of garden, farm, heather and hay, with more strength fitting the 'medium' designation and less spice. It avoids the overly grassy character of larger RyJ sticks.
• Final third: It offers special sweet moments, even some cocoa, alternating with an outdoorsy sense and sometimes a bit of toastiness.

The Julieta needs gentle puffing. It has good construction, and its medium - colour just - oily - enough wrappers look nice. It usually burns evenly with fewer draw problems than expected. However, it may not satisfy those who want a 'bigger' cigar, and some might prefer the slightly larger and cheaper Romeo y Julieta Belvederes. Price is about € 5.00 / $ 6.15.
