Romeo y Julieta Capuletos 2016 - Edición Limitada TOS Sep 2016

If you are not familiar with the Romeo y Julieta Capuletos Limited Edition from 2016 it would because the other Limited Editions that year got all the publicity. The Trinidad Topes was lauded as an exemplary example of the format and the Montecristo Dantes was noted as a 'Monte powerhouse'. The Capuletos merely disappeared into the 'slipstream' of these other two Limited Editions, it seemed.
 
It's not like it was a bad cigar either. On the contrary, contemporary reviews were mainly consistent in labeling it a solid cigar which will see it getting better and peaking after three to four years. After having a RyJ Capuletos today I can assert the truth to this maxim.

My last RyJ Capuletos was smoked around two years ago. At the time I noted that it was faithful to the RyJ marca flavour profile but it was not great nor was it bad. Fast forward a few years and the same cigar left quite an impression after smoking it. It was comfortably mild, had a great balance of RyJ flavours such as cocoa, nutmeg, anise sweetness, rosewater, wood, a little spice and even a velvety cream texture on the draw. The consensus that this Limited Edition would take three to four years to start to peak is about right, retrospectively speaking.

I smoked a 2018 Romeo y Julieta Tacos recently and I noted that it was a powerhouse, something akin to a Limited Edition version of the Cazadores. Today's 2016 RyJ Capuletos was more like an amplified Churchills, with all the very best characteristics of that flagship cigar to go with it. If you have some of these in your humidor and it's been awhile since you've visited them, do yourself a favour and smoke one soon. I'm confident you won't regret it!

Well, 1 week "staycation" starts now!! We had planned to be in Cuba right now, but thats a no go. Looking at the weather for there looks like might not have been a good week anyway, so dont feel as bad about it. I'll just have to smoke some good sticks at home. Cheers Folks!

Easily the best cigar of the week. Not sure why I continue to be surprised by the concentrated flavor of minutos

I gave my buddy a box of these PMS DIC 13 partagas habaneros for his birthday a few years ago. He loves a good 'firecracker' stick, but doesn't collect, so that's the sum of his humidor contents. I held onto another box [of the same code] , for sharing in solidarity with him, on the rare occasion that he gets around to having a cigar.

I found out last night that my buddy's grandpa passed away. Thankfully, he went in his sleep, with a smile on his face, in the presence of loved ones.

My buddy asked me to 'light a firecracker for grandpa'. Went ahead and took the first example, in a few years, out of this box. After 7 years. These habaneros still pack quite a punch. Just like grandpa's legacy, they've got a lotta legs left in em.

To all my fellow smokers who've been holding onto some sentimental stick for a special occasion, fire one up for Jose.
