The Romeo y Julieta Belicoso is one of the longest cigars in production of the brand’s portfolio, produced well before the Cuban Revolution.
The vitola de Galera is called Campana, less used than the pyramid, and it has always been sold in a 25-unit dress box.
It is usually dressed in Colorado-colored wrappers with red or yellow reflections. It is very smooth with tiny hinted veins to the touch, and there is nothing to complain about in terms of overall construction and filling.

Romeo y Julieta Belicoso: unlit, you can perceive good wood aromas with dry floral nuances.
The opening reveals a sapid smoke with a sweet nuance. Strong notes of wood and walnut are followed by less intense mineral aromas. Strength is light (1/5).
In the central section, the initial sweetness is reduced more and more until it disappears. The aromas alternate between wood and nuts, followed by lesser notes of coffee, and the strength becomes medium-light (2/5).
There are no changes in the last third, except the strength level, which increases slightly, becoming medium (3/5).
In conclusion, the Romeo y Julieta Belicoso returns a satisfying smoke thanks to a contained strength that makes the profile more readable. Too bad that the evolution suffers between the second and the last third. Perfect with a morning coffee or after a light lunch.
