Kangaroo495 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The Julieta is a new vitola in the R&J line. It was launched at the recent Habanos Festival. Last night, I was at Cigarros' cigar tasting event in Moscow, and the guy sitting next to me gifted this cigar, as he had been at the Festival. The Julieta is a tiny cigar, Panatella style. Construction is top notch, smooth, firm, no inconsistencies. Wrapper is Colorado, a little on the Claro side. Aroma at cold - there was so much smoke in the room that I couldn't smell a thing. The smoke is damn strong - one of the strongest Habanos I've smoked in recent times. The first puffs immediately blast pepper into the nose. The flavour/aroma is floral and sweet, but the body is FULL. The cigar does not develop much however, probably due to its tiny length. But the flavour is consistent. I detect a hint of strawberries along with flowers and sweetness. No harshness. While this may seem like an ideal flavour profile for a chick, due to the strength of the cigar, I seriously doubt any novice female smoker will enjoy this stick. I think if you give this to a female with the intention of getting her interested in cigars, she probably take a few puffs and say "WTF?!?!? I'll never smoke a cigar again in my life!" This is a man's cigar for an experienced smoker, and has great aging potential. 87/100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobLobLaw Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks for the review. I am really excited about these. I lost a bit of hope when it was brought up that its a "ladies" cigar and was not going to be that strong. Glad to hear otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
