Meet the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Cedro Deluxe No 2 "It's a Girl!" - a 5½"x44 parejo wrapped in Indonesian Shade Grown TBN leaf. Priced at $160.55 for 25 sticks, this Dominican-made celebratory smoke features double bands with gender-reveal flair. The cedar sleeve isn't just packaging; it slowly infuses woody notes during storage. Perfect for sharing cigars at baby showers without breaking your humidity protocol - each box comes with Boveda packs pre-installed.
First Third: Immediate cedar spice with faint floral undertones. The draw feels slightly tight but produces creamy smoke. Retrohale reveals white pepper tingle that pairs well with coffee.
Middle Third: Core flavors shift towards roasted nuts and caramel. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the cedar sleeve. Watch for tar buildup near the band area - rotate the cigar if you taste bitterness.
Final Third: Earthy notes emerge with leather undertones. Strength creeps up to medium-plus. Best to nub it before the last inch unless you enjoy nicotine headrush.
Remove cedar sleeves if storing long-term - they tend to overdry cigars in low-humidity environments. These smoke best at 65% RH after 30-day rest. Pair with sparkling wines to accentuate the floral notes or bourbon to amplify sweetness.
