Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill - GOB ABR 20 (VVRW#1)

[sho671]

It's starting to warm up around here which means I can start smoking in the evening when the sun goes down again. I always have a few Short Churchills hanging around and decided to pull some out for a couple buddies and one of their dads. The pre-light draw was a little tight, but it opened up after lighting up. First and second third brought out some bread and cream notes. The last third is when I started to pick up some cherry, especially on the retro. Burn was good throughout. I touched it up a couple times, but it was more for aesthetics vs performance.

2/5.

Nice.
I have only recently discovered the RyJ Short Churchills, and have only had a few, all from 2020 also, and really enjoyed them and all had great burn,draw and construction.
Will definitely be getting more to keep some on hand

I enjoyed a Short Churchill from a 10-count 2020 box yesterday afternoon, and got overtones of Cafe con Leche, red pepper spice, and some fruitiness that was cherry-esque. Draw was perfect, but I really had to manage the burn on the lettered side of the labels in order to avoid a badly uneven burn. This shortened the smoke time to about 50 minutes, but the cigar never overheated and I didn't toss until it got to the red label.

Need to compare some other 2020 robustos to see where this one should fit in my rotation, but was very pleased with this model.

I smoke mostly Robusto sized, give or take a bit length and rg-wise, all from 2019 or 2020 and all of them have been very good.
Cuba seems to be on a good run the last couple years
