"R&J 1875 Belicoso"
Burn and draw near perfect, but not much there for taste. Medium bodied. Had just smoked an Oliva V belicoso, which was way, way better - price was about the same.

"Boring"
Now this is one boring smoke. It's to pricey for getting no flavor. They do have great construction and burn, just way to mild for me, and that equals a very boring smoke. You can have em, I don't want em. Now the maddie is another story.

"Descent smoke"
Draw was a bit tight at first but opened up after the first 1/2". Wrapper was smooth and entire cigar looked like superb. Good tobacco tastes and light spice. Also tasted some leathery tastes. good smoke for just about anytime but not my favorite. but not bad in any way.

"Smooth Burner"
Nicely constructed cigar, smooth and and a bit soft to the touch. Nice burn with cool abundant smoke. Pleasant sweet leather tones with mild coffee notes. Great combination with a Newcastle Brown ale. A well built mild smoke.

"Not bad"
Straightforward yet pleasant tobacco flavor, nice draw and burn, a good smoke for a BBQ with friends.

"enjoyed the taste"
I love the taste and smell of this line of cigars. Hard to describe, but I tasted cedar, leather, and sweetness. However, the wrappers on the belicoso cigars I bought seem to unravel easily and numerous cigars had splits in the wrappers that once the tobacco was heated caused all kind of draw problems as the split exacerbated. I've only smoked 2 so far but nonetheless I was disappointed in the construction.

"What's with DR Romeo Y. Julieta"
This belicoso looked gorgeous, however, that's about it. 1st few draws produced a terrible bitter taste. Thought the flavor will smoothen out, but it didn't. Never had any good experience with n/c RYJ.

"a disappointment"
I had never smoked a Rome y Julieta before, but I heard good things. Sad to say, those things didn't apply to my experience. Bad taste, bad draw, and it burned uneven half the stick no matter what I did.

"alright"
Found it looked great, but smoked poorly. Prefer a stronger smoke with better flavor, which this did NOT have at all. For the price I can get better elsewhere. I do not recommend this cigar.

"tight draw"
well constructed with mild, smooth flavors. however, draw was too tight and kept me from enjoying the whole thing.
