A few weeks ago the folks at Cigars.com sent me some of their exclusive Romeo y Julieta Devoción Lust Series Toros to try, and try them I did. I’ve been hot and cold with Romeo y Julieta cigars over the years. Of course, it’s one of the best selling brands out there, and there have been some I’ve enjoyed, and I’ve had a sentimental attachment to the brand, as it was the brand I had to commemorate my daughter’s wedding nearly 16 years ago. I like to try Romeo y Julietas when they come along, and there have been some I’ve enjoyed. This one is made in Honduras, where the post-revolution Romeos were made. It has an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper that is a nice, light brown. The binder and fillers are all Honduran.
I first thought that this was a mild cigar, but it must have been what I had eaten or something, because subsequent examples were far more flavorful, and solidly medium bodied. Of course, there’s a creaminess, with some leather and nuts. There’s also a nice Café con leche sort of flavor. I take my coffee black, but I’ve had Café con leche when there was nothing else offered. The several cigars I smoked all burned perfectly and were quite enjoyable. If you have an interest in trying these, or anything else from Cigars.com, you can use CCRAIG10 for a discount, and click though the link on the left side of this page to get to the site (it’s an affiliate link, which I, historically haven’t had a lot of luck with, please help me turn that around!). The Romeo y Julieta Devoción Lust Series is a tasty cigar.
That’s all for today, until the next time,
