Let's talk about the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Bully - a box of 15 sticks priced at $130.62 that brings a mild Dominican experience wrapped in Indonesian Shade leaf. This Honduran-rolled parejo measures 5"x50 ring gauge, perfect for those 90-minute smoke sessions. The dual red/gold bands give it classic charm while hiding some modern blending secrets.
Cold draw brings faint hay notes. Initial puffs reveal buttery cashews with a cedar undertone. Smoke output stays moderate - about 30% less dense than typical Dominican cigars. The ash holds firm in 1" segments.
At the 25-minute mark, roasted corn flavors emerge alongside baking spices. Retrohale introduces white pepper zing without harshness. Burn line stays razor-sharp, though needs 2-3 corrections in windy conditions.
Last third develops caramelized walnut notes with a slight mineral finish. Zero tar buildup on lips. Nicotine impact remains low (1.5/5), making this suitable for morning smoke sessions.
Works best with light-roast coffee (cuts through the nutty notes) or blonde ale. Avoid heavy spirits that overwhelm its delicate profile. Total smoking time: 85-95 minutes with proper pacing.
