ROMEO Y JULIETA CORONITAS EN CEDRO
Size - 129 x 40
Smoke Time - 1 Hour
Box of 25 June 2011
Appearance: Nice and slender with a light chocolate brown wrapper, only the odd small vein. As with most from this brand, it was a very smooth looking stick with a very nice finish indeed, this being typical of Romeo y Julieta cigars in general.

Construction: With not much pressure applied it had quite some sponginess to it, as though it was over humidified, however this did not affect this cigar at all. It had a nice straight burn from start to finish, with no corrections needed, a nice smooth draw with no relights required, a well constructed cigar.

Flavour: Pre-draw it gave me some nice delicate flavours of leather and wood and hints of sweet hay, i was sensing something smooth and soothing once lit. It was a nice sweet start to the first third, the stick had very earthy flavours and heavy tones of leather and sweet wood, i could also taste a little coffee coming through, right away the word "smooth" came to mind. Into the second very similar flavours as in the first, however in addition i was getting an amazing amount of creamy coffee. It tasted very similar to the Cohiba Siglo II i had recently, and if you did'nt know any better it could have passed as a Cohiba in the second third. It was so tasty i was getting a little tingle on the tongue, that's because i was enjoying the flavours so much i was smoking a little faster. The final third was still delivering creamy coffee, however it was tailing off and i was getting lots of nutmeg coming through. The biggest surprise came right near the end of the stick, when i got a slight flavour of cardamom and then lots and lots of liquorice, it was so pleasant and a nice sweet finish to the smoke.

Overall: I found this cigar to be an excellent 1 hour smoke indeed, it had a nice clean draw from start to finish and produced lots of creamy white smoke. It held a steady greyish/white ash and gave me a good variety of flavours. It was not to weak nor to strong and i would say it was a pleasant smooth medium bodied cigar and one i could smoke on a regular basis.
I will always hold more than a handful of these in my humidor, as they smoke just as good as they look...
Thank you SmokinE
