Romeo y Julieta Reserve Maduro Toro

Really not a bad cigar, just not a great one either. The construction is decent with a reasonable burn and the flavor is nice enough, just not enough of it.

I have read many reviews and had many friends sing its praise, but i cant seem to get on board. The construction is nice tight and the wrapper flawless but the flavor is non discript and i have to work to smoke one more than half way. I would reccomend a st luis rey toro for a few bucks less and a lot more flavor

I have not had much luck with r&j's, so I was a bit skeptical of this cigar. I am glad I was talked into it because it turned out to be one of the best cigars I have ever had. Burn, smoke, flavor (buttery) were all top notch. Also, this cigar truly boomed out big clouds of smoke....huge plus for me

I found this stick on sale at the local store and I had to see if there where any good and also one of my poker pals get these all the time. I found the cigar having a nice dark binder with some veins and very well constructed. Start's off nicely with a strong yet smooth start and about the end it's get a bit harsh. Burns steady thru the whole thing with no relights with a gray to dark gray ash. I had 2 of these so far and there worth getting if there on sale or if you want to mix it up a bit. I would recommended to this to people who like a decent Maduro cigar.

Not quite as i expected but still very good. Alot of taste here from a mild Cigar.At one point i thought i had a Onyx Belicoso in my hand.Worth $5,try it!

I like trying alot of different things and was very excited to be offered this at a friends house. The appearance, initial light, burn were all good, but... it just lacked character. Left me wanting for more.

This is an unusual cigar. The barnyard factors high in its flavor profile, along with a sweet char typical of maduros. It’s medium in body, certainly not the powerhouse I was expecting. This is good — despite the imposing appearance of this stick the interesting flavors are fairly subtle. There’s an earthy richness which proves my initial pre-light impression correct. It’s a smelly smoke, with an excremental element that might turn some people off. I can see this being a “love it or hate it” cigar. Myself, I just found it an interesting experience.

Not a maduro fan, but I liked this one. Started slow but got MUCH better in the middle, little harsh at the end. Good construction, good draw, nice ash. Little bit of burn problem but easily corrected.

These are great. Can't say they are over-strong but they do have body, very congenial taste and produce plenty of smoke with a nice burn. Maduro "newbies" could probably start here and not move on for years. Try 'em!

Good maduro! Nice and Strong. Yes the flavor is hard to find but still a good smoke. Got it in a sample and thought it was a good smoke

A bit harsher than i expected but a pretty
good cigar

pretty good cigar. Got this one in a sampler, I would have never paid 6 bucks for it. Take the band off and you have a slightly above average maduro. Begins a little harsh like a Partagas Black then smooths out similar to a smoother Onyx Reserve. OK smoke but don't pay over $3.00.

Where to start? First, the draw. Tighter than insert your own metaphor here. Produced very little smoke, and did not get better as it burned. The flavor was also notsohotso. It has some notes of raisins and spice, but these were overwhelmed by some unpleasant visitors. Primarily, this was the flavor of fake butter found in your less reputable brands of microwave popcorn. The second sweet, off flavor took me longer to place. Finally I did, by looking back to 6th grade, and my first experience in marching band. Columbus day parade. We were slotted in behind some equine participants in the festivities. Yeech.

Just a note: have a seat belt handy when you test ride the
Romeo y Julieta Reserve Maduro. Cow-a-frickin-bunga! Full strength is a definite understatement. Even after a good meal, I gotta take this one SLOW. But don't let my whimperings mislead ya, this puppy is as smooth as a rocket ship can be. Great, even burn, oily wrapper, smooth construction, and more horsepower than a Chrysler 300C Hemi. I mean, some people could have religious ceremonies with this jewel. S'cuse me, I gotta try and stand up by myself.

To my great disappointment, I bought two of these things and both of them were so hard to draw that I gave up on them after about 10 minutes each. A supreme waste of $13.00. I hope maybe it was just a bad box in peddlar's wet room...Will have to try again and re-review.

Good looking cigar but with less flavor than I hoped for. Very tight draw the second half, and a bit milder than I prefer...

45 minutes escape from reality !

This was a very good smoke! Not as spicy as I would like, but still quite good. The appearance was beautiful and the draw, construction and burn was very nice. I would easily recommend this cigar to anyone who enjoys maduros!

Attractive cigar with slightly irregular burn quality. Deep cedary pre-light aroma and semi-sweet citrusy notes during smoking complimented by deep mocha base. A bit more 'dor time may have improved burn.

Great looking maduro, not as dark as some others though. Really tight draw but loose construction. Started out nice and chocolatey but turned sour and really spongy. Uneven burn but a nice ash. Only had 1 so this could be the one poor one out of the bunch. I won't try again since I didn't care for the flavor profile.

This was yummy. Like a chocolate tootsie pop that had a relaxant in it. Consistent flavor all the way down. Perfect burn. Great for an enthusiast or a newbie alike!

I've tried several from different smoke shops in the area to test this one. I ordered a box 3 days ago. This is my favorite to smoke right now!

medium bodied, not overly spicy for a maduro. construction was a little rough but didnt affect my overall enjoyment. an excellent new line.

Very impressive maduro. Loved the flavors of almond and cedar, with maybe a hint of spice. The aroma was awesome, and the burn was even. Really a great smoke.
