Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
 

This is my first review so please be kind!:D Pics were taken from my Blackberry so I apologize for the quality!

Size: 6.1" X 52

Wrapper: Nicaraguan

Binder: Nicaraguan

Filler: Nicaraguan and Honduran

Strength: Medium to Full Bodied

Price: Single $7.10

This is a nice dark wrapper that is a bit oily. A nice milk chocolate color with not too many veins. There is one blemish on the wrapper, but it is small.

Pre-draw was toasty and faintly sweet.

First 1/3rd:

Immediately toasted nuts was the dominate flavor. There was a bit of creaminess to the large amount of smoke. Just a hint of cinnamon was evident as well. The ash was dark gray and a bit flaky. There was also an uneven burn to start.

Second 1/3rd: Strong notes of cinnamon came into play here. A little pepper was evident as well. A lot of smoke. The ash fell off halfway through the cigar.

Last 1/3rd: Burn evened out. Lots of cinnamon still dominating the flavor. A hint of spice as well. Toasted nuts coming through too. A nice clean refreshing finish as well.

This was a very pleasant smoke! Lots of cinnamon which I love! A great finish and a nice smoke to start my day!

I give this smoke a 8.8. I would smoke this 'gar on a daily basis. Very enjoyable!

Nice review, thanks. This promotion should still be good, a mixed samper (4 sticks) for $7.95.

Great review; didn't seem like a first timer to me! Keep 'em coming...

You're welcome. It takes a while for them to get shipped, but for <$2/stick, who cares? :ss

Nice review. This cigar sort of sneaks up on you as far as being such a good smoke.

$7.10 for one of these though?

They can be had for $3.51 each via a box.

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicos
 

Yep....these are good!!

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicos
 

I enjoyed the promo sampler pack I got from that radio offer.

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicos
 

I got a few of these in my box.....I can't wait to try one. I love winter, but I don't smoke as often in the winter due to the weather and I am not allowed to smoke indoors :td

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
 

That is such a great cigar. Romeo's always have seemed to be packed really well for me. I have not been disappointed with one yet.

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
 

The Habana Reserve is definitely in the top 3 of the RyJ line.
Thanks for the review!

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
 

Nice review! I was gifted one this summer for my birthday and it was very enjoyable.

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
 

THe Habana Reserve is the only RyJ that I really like anymore... Although, it's been awhile since I've had any other from RyJ

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
 

I might actually get another RyJ HR sampler from that website.....$8 is a damn good price.

Re: Review: Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicos
 

I smoked one a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Can't beat the sampler pack either.

What a great deal...I know I double dipped. :ss
