ROMEO

beatnic

Went to a tasting tonight. The new cigar from Romeo y Juliet named Romeo.
The whole collection was large ringed (>52) and were quite hefty. The boxes are cool. Big, bright red and white.
Ecuadoran Habano wrapper around Honduran filler.
Big, bold, med-full, lots of med smoke. It had a good flavor that got spicier as the cigar progressed. Although it didn't taste like any R&Js that I have smoked it was still very good. And, I could taste just a hint of scotch.

Is the filler all Honduran Beatnic? I like Honduran / Nicaraguan blends a lot and that wrapper is a hit with me for sure. If it is all Honduran...meh

I'm like you. The rep said it was all Honduran, but it didn't have that singular dimension I associate Honduran with. I'm a Nicaraguan fan myself, and didn't dislike this stick at all.

I have one of these sitting in my humidor, I may have to try it when I get home if it's anything like you discribed.

Well then I will have to try one of these out then. Thanks Beat.

Anyone know where I can get more of these? I just tried it and loved it but can't seem to find them anywhere anymore. I'll start looking around the B&M stores but I wouldn't mind having a box on hand.
