Romeo y Julieta (Cuba) Edicion Limitada 2007 Escudos

Smoked one yesterday - could not believe the flavors - real winner - get one and try for youself - cocoa, coffee and real tobacco flavors.

i sit here by the fire, after dinner, 8pm, sipping my cup of kona and finishing off my escudo 07. ive had 2 out of this box and they have both been excellent. i luv the size, color, smell, very nice presentation. the taste is interesting, like a regular r & j on steriods. the same florial taste with spice, but more pronounced. i will let the rest of the box sit til summer, if i can!cheers.

I, like oc2noho above, haven't had stellar experiences with recent ELs, but I have to say this young smoke exceeded all my expectations!

Great leathery and earthy flavors, even more suprising because I am not usually a huge RyJ fan. It gave off tons of smoke, had a perfect burn, and even some good complexity for such a young cigar. A good cigar that I think has the potential to become a great cigar. Looking forward to seeing how these age

I for one think the whole Limitada thing is a bit over rated, but none the less, cigars like this one are excellent! Beautiful oily dark wrapper, great rich flavors, (along maduro lines but not quite as strong), cocoa & coffee as mentioned, but I detected a bit of peppery spice, more than I would nornaly expect to find in an R&J. Me likey! These will definitely age to be spectacular smokes if I can only keep from smoking the last 18 in the box!

I have never tasted cocoa/coffee in a cigar before, but cocoa or coffee are the only two words I would use to describe this gem! I also liked the burning of the wrapper which glittered as the peach fuzzed surface burned. The only negative is the youth of the cigar, leaving me with lots of nicotine.
