Packed in sleek aluminum tubes that could moonlight as pocket rockets, the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Verona's Court Tube serves up a Dominican-Nicaraguan hybrid blend at $192.14 per box of 20. This 5½" x 44 parejo sports an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that feels smoother than a jazz saxophonist's riff. Fresh out the tube, the cigar presents itself with factory-fresh crispness - though smart money says it'll sing better after a month in your humidor.
Unlit, the foot whispers sweet nothings - raisin notes with a faint pencil-cedar undertone that makes you check if you're actually holding a cigar or a stationery item.
The opening salvo delivers cashew creaminess wrapped in baking spice clouds. Smoke output stays polite, neither fogging rooms nor disappearing act thin. Burn line holds steady like a metronome, ash developing that signature Dominican salt-pepper layering.
At the 25-minute mark, the blend remembers its Nicaraguan roots - earthy coffee grounds emerge but stay tethered by that Connecticut silk. Retrohale brings white pepper zips that vanish quicker than morning mist. Watch for tar buildup if you're huffing like a steam engine.
Approaching the nub, caramelized wood notes take center stage with cameo appearances by dark chocolate. The medium strength remains truthful to its billing - no nicotine sneak attacks here. Total burn time clocks in around 55 minutes for methodical puffers.
Rolled at the Tabacalera de García facility (same hands that craft Montecristo's non-Cuban lines), these sticks ship with Boveda packs in boxes. The aluminum tubes add weight to your jacket pocket but earn points for squish-proof protection during commute smokes.
Perfect for sales reps needing conference call companions or golf course warriors who want flavor without distraction. Not the cigar for those seeking Nicaraguan pugilism or complexity acrobatics - this is a straight shooter with good manners and reliable performance.
