This Romeo y Julieta combo packs six cigars and a sleek tumbler at $57.62 - perfect for new smokers dipping toes into Cuban blends. You'll get three each of their 1875 Exhibicion #3 Toro (6x50) and Reserva Real Toro (6x54), both sporting different wrappers that'll take your palate from creamy Connecticut shades to earthy Dominican leaves. The included double-walled tumbler keeps drinks chilled through 90-minute smoke sessions.
First third: Cedar planks and cashew butter with faint cinnamon tingle. Smoke output stays moderate - won't fog up your car.
Mid: Develops roasted almond skin bitterness balanced by maple syrup sweetness. Ash holds solid inch-plus.
Final: Pepper emerges but doesn't overpower. Slight tar buildup by last inch suggests 55-minute optimal smoke time.
Cold draw: Sweet hay and baking spices. Cold draw gives perfect resistance - no plugging issues.
Core profile: Creamy oak transitions to black tea tannins at midpoint. Nicaraguan fillers add body without harshness.
Nub zone: Develops white pepper retrohale. Burn line stays razor-straight with no touch-ups needed.
Romeo y Julieta's Dominican operations use aged tobaccos from Santiago fields - volcanic soil mineral content shows in Reserva Real's flinty undertones. The 1875 blend's Indonesian wrapper adds distinctive baking spice layers rarely found in pure Caribbean puros.
