Meet the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Numero Dos en Tubo - a torpedo-shaped charmer that's been winning hearts since its 1999 debut. This Dominican-made stick comes in aluminum tubes like tiny treasure chests, each holding a 6.1" x 52 figurado that takes about 75 minutes to savor. At $9.47 per cigar, it's the go-to choice when you want quality without breaking the bank.
Cold draw gives sweet hay and pencil shavings. The initial puffs deliver roasted almonds and cedar, with white pepper sparkles on the retrohale. Medium smoke output, tight ash that holds 1.5" before dropping.
Creaminess builds like café con leche. Dominican earthiness emerges, balanced by caramelized sugar sweetness. Watch for irregular burn lines - a quick touch-up keeps flavors honest.
Leather and black pepper take charge. Final inch brings baking spice warmth with minimal bitterness. Nicotine kick stays mild - no head spins even on empty stomach.
Store tubes upright to prevent wrapper damage. Let rest 3 weeks after shipping - the San Andrés binder needs time to mellow. Pair with oolong tea to enhance the nutty characteristics. Rotate every 4 puffs for optimal combustion.
