Appearance

The Petit Piramide has a toothy wrapper with visible seams and is bumpy. It smells of fermented tobacco and gives a rustic impression. Rating: 4/5.

Construction

Smoke production was weak at the start but improved by the end of the first third. It had a firm and uniformly - colored ash. Rating: 4.5/5.

Flavor

• Pre - draw: wood and butter notes.
• First third: balanced spicy flavors (black pepper), followed by alternating sweetness and saltiness. Light to medium - bodied with roasted coffee and oak notes later.
• Second third: wood is more prominent, remains balanced and smooth with some spice.
• Last third: medium - bodied, balanced flavor with added hot chocolate notes.

Rating: 5/5.

Value

The Romeo y Julieta Petit Piramides seems to be at its peak now. If you have some in stock or see them in a shop, it's worth trying. Rating: 4.5/5.

These cigars show the positive effect of 7 years of aging on a Cuban stick. It might be a good idea to buy limited - edition boxes and age them for 5+ years, though it's very difficult.
