Appearance
A medium brown colored wrapper with a few prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped but visible due to some mottling. The wrapper has a nice oily sheen. The filler bunch is well packejd with no apparent soft spots.
Aroma
Barnyard, cedar and dried fruit on the wrapper. Cedar and caramel at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Cedar, caramel, dried fruit and cinnamon spice on the lips and tongue.
1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar with a leathery texture. The draw is a tick on the snug side. The burn has a small wave. Smoke production is in the low range currently. At a little over an inch in the draw opened up nicely. The smoke production moves to the medium range. Coffee and roasted peanuts join the profile. Warm cinnamon spice begins to develop as the 1st/3rd ends.
2nd
The burn & draw are good at this point. The ash is medium gray, stacked and a little flaky. The finish is long with notes of cedar, light coffee, roasted peanuts and mild cinnamon spice all nicely balanced and wrapped in a leathery texture.
Final/3rd
Strength is at med/full. Flavor profile is holding consistent with notes of cedar, light coffee, roasted peanuts and warm cinnamon spice. Delicious right to the nub.
Overall
The Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills Robusto provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. A flavorful and well balanced profile with a nice burn & draw.
A big Thank You to my brother Matthew Munro @AirMunro for the gift to review.
