"Wished for more..."
Very light smoke and a little hard to pull. Burned evenly, mild/medium flavor overall w/ some spice & bite. This did come from a friend's neglected humidor and had to be revived, so that may have affected it.

"bang for your buck"
In my opinion, this is the best rated cigar (91) for the $$. Smooth, earthy tone taste that burns well and has a rich smooth tast throughout. Mild to medium flavor with great white smoke. Golfers dream cigar!!

"A very bland stick..."
It is a pretty cigar that was constructed well. It burned until I put it out, no retouching needed. The taste disappointed for the first 2/3rds of this cigar. It was ashy and had a bitter aftertaste. It did open up in the last 1/3rd and you could taste creamy notes, almost nutty. By that point however, it has taken almost 40 minutes....I'm not certain if I could take the churchill again.

"THIS is what a mild cigar ought to taste like"
I tend to like full bodied cigars, but will smoke a mild when I get my hands on one. In this case, I got my hands on an RyJ Reserva Real Churchill. This is a monster tasty smoke. No, it's not full flavored, but it's not boring. It's got a nice, creamy, good down to the nub taste. I am very impressed with this smoke.

"Real Deal"
This cigar was given to me as a gift. However, after smoking three of these sticks, I just went out and bought a box. I highly recommend this cigar over the other R y J cigars. The flavor was very good from start to finish. Great while playing a round of golf.

"Was hoping for more.."
I felt that the taste was very bland. No real noticeable variations. It was a long and smooth smoke, but average on the taste side. Not very impressed with my first Romeo.

"Great Mild smoke"
First time I had this cigar at the local shop I thought it would be a an average smoke. Boy was I surprise how nice this smoke was. It's a nice mild to medium smoke with hints nuts and oak and a good aftertaste after your done. Burns perfectly almost every time I get these and a perfect gray ash as well. I would recommend this cigar to people who enjoy a great mild or medium smoke.

"Damn Decent"
Having only smoked one of these it is hard to give a truly credible review, but I would a say it has the markings of a good stick. The burn was perfectly even the whole way through despite a difficult light. (due to wind) Flavor wasn't anything special, but based on construction and burn(and the fact it lasted an hour and a half) I would say it is worth trying.

"Wow"
I was extremely pleased with this smoke. Smooth, smooth, snd smooth. After the first inch or so, the cream just kept on coming. I smoked mine down to the hilt, and then finished the last three inches of friend's. One of the most pleasurable smokes I've ever had.

"Pleasant"
Good construction, very nice, steady burn even on a windy golf course. Easy draw lead to quick burning and it produces a decent volume of smoke. Some cedary overtones, mild bit of spice and bite to it, but mostly a medium to light bodied cigar that is very smooth. It's not going to stand up real well to heavy food or drink but it's a pleasant enough PM smoke. With so many other options available in this price range, not something I'd rush out and buy.

"Ok for my first"
This was the FIRST cigar that I have tried. I am new to the cigar smoking world, so I will try to make this in terms all can understand.... The Romeo y Julieta Reserve Real was a pleasure to smoke. It was mild, and smelled really nice. The cigar lasted about 45 minutes, with light smoke. It was an easy draw and the taste was constant thru the whole cigar. Being my first I may have smoked it too far down, because it started to get nasty and hot towards the end. A pleasureable experiance none the less..... Happy smoking!

"No there there"
This is a nice looking cigar, but it would be hard for me to find anything else positive to say about it. I found its taste unremarkable. Kind of felt glad I got it as part of a promo pack. Perhaps age would do it some good?

"Fresh Pecans"
Found a good buy on these so I got a box. These are a really good smoke, little bit of spice and a flavor that reminds me of fresh pecans. Good even burn, nice draw, nice ash. If you are looking for spicy, nutty smoke, treat yourself to one of these.

"An excellent smoke"
My first one was a wonderful surprise. Fairly mild, slightly woodsy, but not unpleasantly so and nice spicy finish. Burned great and nice aroma from start to finish.

"not that good"
Smoked about half of my box and gave the rest away. Fortunately it was a gift because it's not worth the price. Too mild with little taste.

"Never Disappoints"
This cigar smokes very nicely. It’s very smooth with a nutty flavor. If you like a mild cigar I think you’ll love this one. I’ve always like Churchills as the flavor does change from start to finish but never goes bad in this cigar. One of my favorites and for less than $6 you can’t beat the price.

"Surprisingly great!"
I wasn't expecting much out of this cigar, but as soon as I lit up and took my first puff, I was hooked. Didn't quite have time to smoke the whole thing, but what I smoked was incredible....smooth taste, with no burn at all. I tasted a woodsy chocolate....great, with a very mild and pleasant after taste. Am going to buy a box of coronas, seeing as they got great reviews also. Also...terrific value for a damn good churchill.

"A Good One"
The is a good looking well constructed cigar. The taste starts out a little woodsy, but after about an inch it smoothes out into a cigar with a very nice flavor. Towards the end, it gains a little spice and leaves a somewhat pepper like finish. Overall I liked this cigar.

"Typical Altadis"
Great looking, beautifully constructed cigar. Tobacco is well aged and balanced. But, it is just another forgettable Altadis cigar. No build up in flavor, uncomplex aroma. Go with the shorter smokes as you won't grow bored

"Nice & safe"
Very nice, mild smoke, a little pepper, then settled down. Well constructed, good draw, fun to smoke - but somewhat forgettable.

"Spectacular"
This is a beautiful cigar that does not disappoint. Unlike other R & J's, the Connecticut-Equador wrapper is beautiful and the taste great.
