Let's talk about the Romeo y Julieta Reserve Corona en Tubo - a Honduran-made torpedo that's been turning heads since its release. This 5 5/8" x 45 stick comes in slick aluminum tubes perfect for your golf bag or weekend getaway. At $205 per box of 21 (that's about $9.78 a pop), it's positioned as an affordable daily smoke with some serious flavor chops.
Cold draw gives earthy notes with a faint sweetness. The initial third hits with black pepper and leather - classic Honduran tobacco traits. Burns slower than expected, needing a few touch-ups around the mid-point. The real magic happens post-ash drop when cocoa notes emerge.
At the halfway mark, the blend reveals:
The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper shows visible oil spots. Cut clean with minimal fraying. Burn line stayed mostly even except during windy conditions. Final third developed a tight draw - keep your punch cutter handy.
Intermediate smokers craving Nicaraguan-style body without the full nicotine punch. Not as intense as Padrón's Maduros but more character than standard Dominican blends. The tube packaging makes it a solid choice for boat days or hiking trips where traditional cases won't cut it.
