Romeo y Julieta No. 3 Tubed Cigar - Pack of 3

Can't fault the No. 3 really. In smoking my first one I realised that I am more of an Upmanns man but certainly not because there is any major fault with the Romeo No 3. The first 3rd although very mild is intriguing and friendly in pronouncing what's come. I pared it with an Italian espresso but only for the first 3rd. By the second 3rd I had a glass of beer beside me and, I hate to admit, was listening to a bit of Chopin. The second is when the character of the cigar came home and, like the best cuban cigars I have so far smoked, the cigar insisted of reminding me of all the people and hard work that went in to building such a fine thing. I am not the best in describing flavours but I can tell that when I start to think deeply about the work behind my smoke is when I know am smoking something that will be memorable to me. Final 3rd; I have to admit, this is the first time I have had to re-light a cuban cigar but I wasn't all that bothered, it's a well built cigar regardless. As to be expected, a cigar this size gets a bit hot and challenging towards the end but it's got a good spice and I went well beyond the label before deciding to call it a day. The reason I say I prefer an Upmanns (Coronas Junior I mean) is that whereas the Romeo No.3 waits until the second 3rd to properly announce itself an Upmann's Junior is generally a good conversationalist from the outset. But none-the-less the No.3 is a great little smoke.

I can only echo what everyone else has said; a great some, possibly my favourite to date. Not too strong and complex, although by no means bland at all. Subtle flavours and a good half hour of smoke time, mine burnt brilliantly and I was rather sad to let it go! Needless to say I'll be trying some more R&Js in the future.

A class act. My example was carefully constructed and spot on in terms of draw required. Flavours included pleasing hints of leather, none overpowering but interesting nonetheless. Lives up to the reputation overall.

This cigar might be the most frustrating smoke I have ever had!,don't get me wrong when you get a good ryj no 3 they are very good, and they can rival the monty no 4 in terms of flavour,spice and leather, wood and cream mmmmm, however no two ever taste the same, often the flavours muddle into something messy, bitter, and rather deflating, I often find myself having to adjust them due to burn issues, in a box you will find 4 or 5 are plugged!, and sometimes less are up to scratch!, be wary!

A dry spicey stick with great smoke output. good full flavoured smoke with notes of bitter coffee and spicey earth. Burn was poor - but bad weather conditions. I recommend to those who enjoy full body and strength. a nice simple 45 mins.
