Beneath the Band: Romeo y Julieta Petit Corona

[El Presidente]

This series to explore whether a particular cigar is humidor worthy. Cost these days is an issue for many so let's see if we can highlight some absolute standouts. This should particularly assist those new to the cigar world.  

To be fair, most of the cigars we have featured to date have scored exceptionally well. Surprisingly well! 

Scoring is: 1-3 (Poor)   4-6 (Average to good)   7-10  (very good to excellent)  Use the Poll. 

You are more than free to comment away!

The Romeo y Julieta Petit Corona has none of the cache of its vitola or even marca brethren. How often do you come across someone smoking a Romeo y Julieta petit corona? Montecristo 4......all the time!

 

I am a huge fan of the Romeo y Julieta Petit Corona. I love the flavour richness of the cigar. I am not a fan of its dubious contruction failure rate however. If you can pick this box in person, I would pick it up over any other. The Monte 4 and the R&J PC are the only Petit Corona I need in my life. 

 

Romeo y Julieta Petit Corona .....Let's kick off the discussion

A ton of high-visibility, high-volume competition has kept this guy as something of a sleeper over the years. Before the craziness, I always had a couple of boxes in storage. Wish they were still there! Solid cigar and historically a price performer.

I can say this one of the very few current production Cubans I have not tried or really even seen talked about. Curious to see members thoughts.

Meh. Prefer the upmann PC. The RyJ is a don't expect much contender. I've a 2016 box and will be my last of these I think. Only a fiver or so in.

I Would like to know how the Romeo PC differs from a club king, Romeo no 2, cedros de luxe no.3 and the Mille fluer. They’re all the same size (appreciate the cedros and no2 are in contact with cedar spills which may impart some flavour 🤷‍♂️) But is there a noticeable difference in flavour between the five? If you’ve smoked one/two have you kind of smoked them all?

I’ve not had a PC but have Enjoyed Romeo no 2s - real easy smoke, middle of the road, probably a bit one dimensional.
