The Romeo y Julieta Añejo Piramides throws down a 6 1/8" x 52 figurado packed with aged tobacco goodness. Priced at $197.20 for 20 sticks, this Dominican-made maduro comes rocking Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that's darker than your ex's soul. Perfectly roll-tested at Tabacalera de García factory, these box-pressed pyramids arrive Boveda-humidified ready to smoke.
The cold draw hits with raisin sweetness. Initial puffs deliver espresso grounds and burnt caramel - classic maduro stuff but cleaner. Retrohale shows black pepper without the nose sting. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the pyramide tip.
Leather notes kick in hardcore at the 45-minute mark. Baking spices (clove/nutmeg) surface through dense smoke output. Watch for tunneling if you rush the puff rhythm - this thing demands slow sipping.
Nicotine strength spikes post-band point. Mineral earthiness dominates with occasional dark chocolate flashes. Stop before the nub unless you want tar lips. 95-minute average smoke time.
Rolled in the Dominican's Tabacalera de García facility using Grupo de Maestros' blend magic. Binder contains Mexican San Andrés leaf for extra smokiness. Wrapper crops come from Connecticut's shade-grown Broadleaf fields - aged minimum 5 years before rolling.
