"not bad"
Very creamy and smooth. The scent is sweet with alot of smoke produced. I had a slight uneven burn and smoke a bit fast for my likeing. Has a slight harshness in the aftertaste. Otherwise, well constructed.

"A decent cigar"
Very nice looking stick, above average in all other facets, but nothing stands else stands out as exceptional. Just a plain good cigar.

"Good, but not great"
THis cigar falls a little short for me.
There is nothing wrong with it, the flavors are all there, it is constructed well enough. It is just missing a certain X factor, which really left me feeling almost cheated, as it received a very high rating. Never the less, it is a very good cigar for the money. Not something I will be smoking on a regular basis though.

"Good Mild Cigar"
Construction was OK. Burned even but a little fast. Flavor was very smooth and mild. All in all, just not strong enough for me.

"Just beautiful"
I think this is one of my favorite medium blends. I've had this and the churchill size and both are marvelous. The toro was a bit cooler but had that same sweet creaminess that I've come to love in this line. I would smoke these again and again. The look and construction are supurb and the cigar evolves ever so slowly from mild-medium to medium and never ever gets harsh or biting. It's always smooth, always buttery - A perfect lazy Sunday cigar that takes no thinking to enjoy.

"Nice Smoke"
A really good smoke. Not as strong as the Reserve or Anniversary. Too bad the price is so high.

"I had to buy a box!"
For someone who searchs for a medium bodied cigar that is of high quality construction and just looks great, this cigar was a perfect fit. The flavor was not too strong but maybe a tad weak is the only complaint I have.

"a pleasant smoke"
I got a deal on a couple at my local smoke shop, and tried em. I had read a lot about em and wanted to try them. I got em home and fired one up. Very nice aroma, taste was good but a little subtle. I could taste the spices and the nuts and cocoa but all a bit subdued. The draw was smooth and just right; a well made cigar. The value was great, a lot of cigar for what I paid (~$4.00). In general they are pricey and I wouldn't buy a box of em but, if they come in a good sampler or a 5 pack, I will buy them. They are a kind of a mood cigar IMO, and a good alternative stick in my humidor.

"Skin deep cigar."
An attractive, very smokable cigar. However, harsh and boring in the all important flavor department. This stick just had no flavor going for it. I kept on waiting for something other than a bitterness to develop. Nothing. Just blah...even yucky. This stick's wrapper was shiny. Gauge said she was "good" to smoke. She was properly humidified for about 2 weeks in my box. Bought her for about $3.25 on an Indian Reservation that had a properly maintained walk in humidor. I noticed these sticks go for about $5/stick. Was this a fake? Maybe. But this dealer is usually reputable, and why would you want to counterfeit a $5 stick? Strange....maybe I got the bad stick in the box. If so, this is twice I've been disapointed by Romeo y Juliet.
I'd tread cautiously with these as beauty is only wrapper deep.

"Yummy......."
Not a better looking cigar in my experience. It's a shame to burn it. Taste reminds me of a fine dry white wine. Hints of straw along with a cream flavor. Understated but sophisticated tasting smoke. Probably too mild to smoke with great regularity but a very nice change to mid-heavy body maduros. My only complaint is that it tends to burn kind of quick. This with humidity levels at 67 to 68% in my humidor. It's a good idea to be patient with the draw. Recommended.

"Gee, I liked it!"
I wonder if I smoked the same cigar as the other reviewers. I found it to be medium bodied with lots of woodsy flavors. A little nut and spice, too. It burned perfectly and had a great draw. I didn't pay much (only $2.00 as part of a promotional 4-pack), which added to the value.

"BooHiss"
Some of these reviewers must be employed by RJ. I bought a box of these a year and a half ago. Since then, I've tried without success to find a good one. All of them are plugged, flavorless, bland, and boring. Every single cigar in my box burned badly, had a constricted draw, and produced very little smoke. These cigars are just not good.

"Not bad at all."
This is a very good smoke with great aroma that reminds me of it's cuban sister. The burn is even and the flavor is wonderful. I am not a large cigar fan but I can put in the time for this one on occasion.

"I'll have another, and another..."
This is one cigar I have found myself coming back to quite often. Such a smooth smoke, with supurb construction...making it among my favorites. Well worth the money.

"Pretty package"
There's not much to these when it comes to flavor. Light and mild with a smooth finish. Pay for the name.

"Good, but..."
Well built cigars. Nice, mild flavor. However, I've had several that suffered from either a tight draw or very low quantity of smoke. Mild cigar that is better than average.

"supurb construction"
Almost too good looking to smoke. Medium body with good flavors. Could be more complex. Burns perfectly.
Makes a nice gift, especially for a special occasion.
