Romeo y Julieta Capuletos EL 2016 (VVL)

[JGD]

I decided end my night with a Romeo y Julieta Capuletos while finishing up some work. The construction was perfect, I mean you really couldn’t ask for more. Perfect draw, even burn throughout, lots of rich smoke. 

There wasn’t much transformation to this cigar thought being smoked. It started out with lost of leather and earth with some of that stewed fruit that Romeo y Juliettas are famous for. The earth gave way to some chocolate, but the fruit never really developed much. 

Overall a good cigar, but I probably won’t have another for some time. It will be interesting to see if a few years mellows out the harsher flavors and let’s the fruit shine through (I hope so at least). 7/10.

Yes, I have found the same thing. Tried 2 last year. Not even going to attempt smoking anymore for YEARS. I have never had an EL that I really enjoyed. Not one. Sometimes I wonder if they say “ok, we have a limited amount of these harsh wrappers or filler so let’s make an EL” ????
