Romeo y Julieta (Cuba) Romeo No. 2 Deluxe

These logs have all the construction charm of a muddy pothole on that dirty back road. But you put up with the inconsistent appearance and crooked wrapper and uneven draw to get that magical strong cuban cigar flavor. Gotta do it every now and then!

I smoked a Romeo Churchill and loved it. I had my hopes set high and this will make me think twice before I buy other cubans. The draw was great, the ash was white, but not the flavor I was expecting. It had the pepper flavor toward the beginning and the end. In the middle I couldn't taste anything. I was disappointed.

Good, construction, good appearance, perfect draw, awful taste. Like smoking dirt laced with pepper. Moderate strength allowed me to get through half of this before I dumped it. Not worth my time.

No way will I smoke another one. Brown ash looks like it was dipped in sewage. To be a cuban...it was a pitiful disappointment.

I have been smoking Romeo No. 2 for the past 15 years and after all this time I still in love with this sublime and easy somke cuban cigar. Fantastic aroma.

It was a pleasure to finallly try some Cubans while I was in Europe (which explains the price I paid). This cigar was bellisimo - I don't understand why aroma is not included and appearance is... the aroma of this cigar is simply heavenly.

For the life of me I just don't understand how this cigar rated better on this list than the RyJ Churchill! I'm not saying I'm right and these guys are wrong, I'm just saying I don't get it. Like the whole David Matthews Band thing, the attraction eludes me.
