Romeo y Julieta Romeo No. 3 belongs to the Romeo numbered series (from 1 to 3), all packaged in aluminum tubes and with origins dating back before the Castro revolution. The vitola de Galera is Coronita. A size used only by Partagas (Coronas Junior) and Punch (Petit Coronations).
It is sold in 10 and 25-ct boxes and cardboard packs containing three aluminum tubos.
Usually, they are dressed in a shiny Colorado wrapper, but sometimes it is possible to find cigars with a slightly darker color. To the touch, they are rustic, with quite pronounced veins. The filling is satisfactory, and the construction is decent.

Romeo y Julieta Romeo No. 3: unlit, the imprint is clearly floral, but there are also scents of wood and nuances of cocoa and spices present.
The opening shows a sapid and slightly bitter smoke, also enriched by spicy nuances. The flavors are expressed on floral, woody, and metallic notes, all of the same intensity. Strength is medium-light (2/5).
In the central section, the bitterness has decreased, while the profile turns towards vegetal and nutty notes, with the usual metallic nuances. Strength increases to medium (3/5).
In the last third, the bitterness returns, becoming equal to the sapidity. The profile outlines flavors of nut and fresh wood with earthy nuances. The strength remains medium (3/5).
Although the size of the Romeo y Julieta No. 3 may seem reassuring, the strength is slightly above the average of the Romeo numbered line and of the brand in general. However, it is not overpowering, and the flavors, albeit few, keep up with the strength. It is a somewhat rustic smoke, with bitter hints that intensify towards the end. Simple and unpretentious.
