Romeo y Julieta Aniversario Corona

Nice looking stick, well constructed, not too veiny. A medium-bodied smoke with most of the complex flavors emerging in the last third. I prefer a smooth draw, and this, like many other of my RyJ experiences was waaay too tight for my liking. It's hard to really enjoy the smoke when you have to suck-start the thing. Overall, an overrated smoke not worthy of Cigar Aficianado's lofty praise of sticking in on their Top 25 list.

I see others have had the same problem. These cigars were obviously not draw-tested. Subsequently the flavors get skewed because of over-puffing. I tried to enjoy this cigar and not work it too hard. There were some very nice aromas and taste was a bit nutty. In the end though I could not get past the tight draw and enjoy it very much, even though it was aged a year and a half. Shame.

prelight tasted chocolate. none after lighting.
Very good looking and tasting smoke. Firm draw, smoke slowly. Will buy more of these

Good looking cigar, nice even taste, but somewhat tight draw. The burn was even with a medium/light colored ash. This is a nice cigar that's not too harsh or heavy- just a relaxing smoke.

Not sure what the others smoked, but this is a great stick. lots of flavor, good burn and great looks. Had 2 in a sampler, just ordered a box.

Just smoked the corona and had a very different impression from the preceding reviews. It was a good looking, solid cigar with a dark, smooth mottled wrapper. The draw was firm but not tight. It started with a unique rich flavor...something like scotch whiskey, and shifted to a woody, cedar profile, and ended peppery and toasty. The burn was razor sharp, the ash was medium gray, solid and dropped to an even low cone. All in all, a very good experience. A very different kind of smoke for RyJ.

Like all the other reviews, this one is a dog.
Uneven burn taste was very nothing.

Pretty cool looking cigar, and that's about its only merit. I had to relight one side of this thing four times during the smoke. Burn was off by almost and inch. Tight draw, and flavor is pedestrian at best. There's a lot better out there for the money.

Had to relit many times. Did not burn evenly. Taste was bland. The regular line is much better.

I paid around 6 bucks for this one...burned a little unevenly, funny metallic taste to it, feel a bit ripped off. I don't think it's any better than a regular RYJ corona.

Bought one of these to try. Had construction problems. The one I had was rolled to tight and had a difficult draw. It was also hard to keep lit.
Not overly impressed with the flavor - bitter aftertaste
