Romeo y Julieta 1875 Clemenceau (tubo)

I was in Costco recently and they had boxes of ten of these marked down to $19.95. I ended up with thirty cigars for about $2 each! Beautiful construction, rich pre-light aroma of cedar and a bit of chocolate. Rich, medium bodied with a bit of sweertness and spice. Of course I went back for more, but too late did I realize what a deal these were.

The first puff of smoke from this stick is very reminiscent of its Cuban namesake (which happens to be one of my all-time favorite cigars): cedar and a certain graham cracker sugariness in a very smooth package. As it gets going, this stogie gains some more strength, adding a bit of leather and spice to the profile, but it never loses its sweetness completely. The one real drawback to this smoke was that as I got around halfway in, it started to burn a bit erratically and I found myself puffing a bit too hard to keep it going. That said, I will be buying this again. It stands up favorably in comparison to the Cuban brand of the same name, both in packaging and in content, and it’s a lot of cigar for $6.50. For those who like a warm, sweet-but-not-cloying medium-bodied smoke, this will fit the bill nicely.

This cigar is one of my personal favorites, a smooth cigar with notes of sweet spice, leather and earth undertones. This cigar plumes well and fast when stored in the tubos. After some age, I like to take the cigar out of the tube and put it back in the humi for one month prier to smoking it, I don’t know why, but it really adds to the flavor of the cigar. Enjoy!

Before lighting the cigar had a chocolate like aroma, also a little earthy. Seemed like it would be on the stronger side. It actually turned out to be milder than I thought. The beginning was quite mild, but it picked up as it went along, it gained a nice earthy, nutty flavor. Finished out nicely, smoked it all the way down. Looking forward to trying others from this brand.

A licorice-laced rough start with high pepper spice content, making it unbalanced. O.K. draw was a little loose. Good burn, a bit of wrapper unravel. Lots of blue smoke.
Core of dry roasted peanuts, hay field with rough cream and salt hints.
Not great for my tastes. Too dry.

I'm a pretty new smoker and have got to say that I liked this cigar. It wasn't super impressive to me at the beginning ... fairly mild, not great, not bad; the wrapper was a bit loose about midway down (a piece of it sticking up), but otherwise looked nice; and it didn't burn evenly at first (but that may have been my fault). As I progressed, though, more flavors started coming out: a nice nuttiness (perhaps almond as another reviewer commented). And then in the last half, the spiciness started coming through. I smoked it for about an hour and a half before having to just give up because my friends were leaving my house; but I could have continued for another 10-15 minuted before burning my fingers 🙂 All in all, I liked this cigar and will most definitely buy it again.

This cigar is medium in flavor with excellent construction. Smooth cigar with price tag that's not too high. Would recommend to anyone including new smokers.

Truth be told- the only reason I buy cigars in tubos is for their portability and because I typically pass them out to friends and aquaintances. Since most aren't freaks about cigars like I am- I try to give a cigar that would satisfy most everyone. I seem to gravitate to the Clemenceau becasue its a medium bodied smoke with decent contruction. A reliable smoke but without any unique character. Burns well and is attrative. Dark chocolate, somewhat earthy.

Although I'm a newbie when it comes to cigars, this was one of the better smokes I've had. Construction was good and the taste was even better. Very consistent throughout. Highly recommended.

These are different than the ones out years ago, the change has been for the better. The blend is great, somewhat mild, but very flavorful, quality construction. Let these sit for a while and they're even better.

This is one of my favorites, Great burn and the draw was excellent very smooth. My wife would even like this one. I'm not one for naming flavors, but I would put this one at the top of the list of being very good to excellent.

These cigars are allright, i bought a box of ten of em and have been in the humidor for about a month. The burn and draw was average, uneven at some times but by the end it usually evened out. The flavor was too mild for my taste, but if you like mild cigars this is a pretty good deal. Just dont expect too much from these, i probably wont buy again just because of my preference.

A gift from the Florida trip. I read the other glowing reviews here & I just didn't get it. A pretty cigar? Yes, but looks are only skin deep. In the 1st half there was nothing offensive about this cigar. I mean it wasn't bitter, or papery, or harsh. It had a medium bodied rather ho hum flavor. In the second 1/2 the spice kicks in with some bakery spice qualities & a very nice toasty finish. So, is the glass half empty or half full?

As pleasant to hold and view as to smoke. Gorgeous cocoa colored wrap expertly rolled. Great draw, dense mellow smoke and even attractive ash. Slight further improvement with a little time out of the tube and in the humidor. Medium strength, which is as mild as I like it, nevertheless the flavors come through without roughing you up.

the beauty of this cigar is surpassed only by its flavor. with a nutmeg-almond and coffee taste, the cigar burns slow, long, and even and is Romeo's finest and one the most underrated smokes out there
