This Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Magnum Grande comes in box-pressed toro format with 6" length and 60 ring gauge. The silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper hides a flavorful core of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos aged up to 6 years. At medium strength with creamy smoke output, it serves as accessible entry point for new smokers while retaining enough complexity for regular rotation.
Initial draws reveal toasted cashews and milk chocolate through velvety smoke. The cold draw gives faint raisin sweetness - signature of Connecticut shade wrappers. Combustion starts evenly with 5-6mm burn line progression per puff.
Dominican ligero shifts flavor profile toward roasted coffee beans and cinnamon stick. Retrohale shows cedarwood undertones without overwhelming spice. Ash holds firm in 1.5" segments with silver-dollar sized burn pattern.
Nicaraguan viso asserts itself with leather and black pepper notes. Smoke density increases slightly with visible oil rings near band. Requires purging at 1.5" nub to prevent bitterness accumulation.
Rolled at Tabacalera de García's 24,000-square-meter facility under Grupo de Maestros supervision. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper undergoes 18-month fermentation in oak barrels. Boveda 72% packs maintain 69-71% RH during shipping - open box for 48h adjustment before humidor storage.
Balances well with nutty brews like Guatemalan Antigua coffee. For spirits, try añejo tequila to amplify the cigar's inherent caramel sweetness without clashing with its spice elements.
