The Romeo y Julieta Belicoso is a Cuban cigar made since before the Cuban revolution. That said, it boasts a pretty long history. The Cuban vitola is “Campana” and this means the cigar is a little shorter than a “Piramide” by a little more than half an inch.
Cigars are dressed up in a colorado shade wrapper, slightly rough to the touch. Also, they appear to be a little box-pressed.

Romeo y Julieta Belicoso: earthy scents on the cold draw. The first few puffs deliver notes of herbs.
The first third alternates aromas of nuts (mainly hazelnut), earth, and vegetal. Strength is medium (3/5).
The middle section exhibits rich earthy notes, together with the nutty flavors, that now resemble more the walnut. In the background, there is also a spicy touch. Strength doesn’t change (3/5).
The last section confirms the second third flavor profile, with only a very light bitter note being perceivable. Strength remains on the medium level (3/5).
Overall, the Romeo y Julieta Belicoso delivers a smoke equipped with a good intensity, but with a flavor profile rather contained. That said, aromas are in line with what you expect from a Romeo y Julieta. A rustic smoke, that won’t disappoint the lover of this brand.
