The Romeo y Julieta Media Noche Robusto comes dressed to kill in its midnight-blue finery. This limited edition 5x54 parejo sports a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper so dark it'll make your morning espresso look tame. Rolled in the Dominican Republic, these box-pressed beauties deliver medium-full smoke with enough coffee-cocoa depth to keep night owls satisfied. At about $8 per stick in 20-count boxes, they're priced for regular rotation among maduro lovers.
First Third: Immediate black coffee punch with baker's chocolate edges. Smoke output starts medium, tight curls rising like incense. The maduro sweetness plays hide-and-seek behind espresso bitterness.
Middle Third: Earthiness emerges - damp forest floor meets charred oak. Retrohale reveals black pepper sneaking up your sinuses. Ash holds firm past the inch mark.
Final Stretch: Cocoa powder dominates as nicotine creeps in. The last inch brings molasses stickiness to lips, with faint anise spice keeping sweetness in check. Burn stays razor-straight down to the nub.
Tabacalera de García's rollers work their magic on Dominican-grown fillers, wrapping them in Mexican maduro leaves fermented to midnight-black perfection. The blue box design isn't just pretty - it's functional, with Spanish cedar trays maintaining ideal humidity. Unlike many limited editions, this 2019 release stuck around due to demand from full-flavor fans.
