  1. Romeo y Julieta Piramide Añejado - a gift from Zürich When visiting Cigar World with my friend Jan Pellegrom, we met with Urs Stephan Adler from Cigar.land and his wonderful girlfriend Jacqueline. Of course we shared a smoke and the conversation turned to the subject of special programs. We both have read very different opinions about the Añejado program and Urs kindly gifted me this stick to try and see what I could make of it. Of course I am happy to oblige and to add to the confusion The Ashes Size: Piramide (52 x 156) Smoking time: from 14:15 to - 15:45 - 1:30 hours of smoking pleasure Location: Kortenhoef, The Netherlands A cru Appearance The cigar is colorado maduro in color, slightly darker than medium, with a nice oily feel to it and no big noticeable veins. The smell is slightly cherry with some cacao and cedar. After lighting and cutting @ 14:10 Combustion and construction No harshness but it pays to purge, somewhat loose construction, very easy burn and a very easy draw. Ash is not firm and has a tendency to drop As I suspected some underfilling, I tested it's weight against the Montecristo No. 2 and found them to be almost equal, maybe slightly underfilled. Taste The cigar has a good but not overly strong taste- more mild/medium to medium. Most RyJ I have smoked have a stronger taste but similar profile. 1st third start 14:15 - A light/medium spicy cigar. It is quite enjoyable and different in taste from many others. Cacao, Pepper and Cherry are the baseline with Cedar and Black Coffee as noticeable accents. Confirms to the RyJ profile only lighter. Cacao - 2/5 White Pepper -2/5 Cherry - 2/5 Cedar - 1/5 Black coffee - 1/5 An enjoyable mix, albeit a little bit light, with a balanced taste. 2nd third start 14:45 - Similar, slightly stronger in general medium now. Shift in blend, increase in cherry, decrease in cacao. This part of the cigar gives fuller flavours. Cacao - 1/5 White Pepper -2/5 Cherry - 3/5 Cedar - 1/5 Black coffee - 1/5 An enjoyable mix, albeit still a little bit light, and less balanced taste, more towards cherry now. 3rd third start @ 15:15 - Strength picks up it's a medium/full flavor. Same blance as the 2nd part but more forceful. A very enjoyable balanced smoke. Cacao - 2/5 White Pepper -2/5 Cherry - 3/5 Cedar - 2/5 Black coffee - 2/5 An enjoyable mix, more medium/full flavor as one would expect. Fin @ 15:45 The finish is more forceful and strong, after some purging. Verdict A start that presented a typical RyJ profile but lighter, picking up strength as I smoked. For an RyJ slightly lacking in fullness of flavor, although not in nicotine. It has been a pleasure to smoke this cigar, a balanced but light smoke., to be enjoyed indoors and not outdoors where it's flavors might disappear. Verdict 8.75/10
