The Romeo Y Julieta Viejo is Old World Cuban Smooth! Lovers of traditional cigars lined up to sample the Viejo from Romeo Y Julieta, and for many of these devotees it was love at first puff. That is, if the beauty of this well-made stick didn’t steal their heart first! Viejo means “old,” and is a fitting moniker for a cigar that takes the aficionado back to the glory days of Cuban cigar-making lore, right down to the box-pressed presentation. The newcomer to this elegant diversion will appreciate the glimpse of old-school ways the Viejo provides. The dark Mexican Maduro wrapper, blackened for maximum savor, exudes an oily sheen that beckons the hand as well as the torch. When aflame, it adds a sweet depth to lusciously mellow menu. A generous cut is recommended, so that each draw is relaxed and ultra-smooth. This medium-bodied, old-world style stogie smolders beautifully, awaiting your attention, all the while filling the void with agreeable wafts of savory sweet smoke. The Ecuadorian Sumatra binder conceals well-aged tobacco from Honduras and Nicaragua. These leaves deliver silken helpings of toasted nuts and bittersweet chocolate, and a hint of spice to keep the palate fully engaged. Sugared cedar highlights, charred around the edges, lengthen as the stick gets shorter. Near the end, the Viejo puts on a pot of dark, rich coffee to bring things to a satisfying and truly calming conclusion. The experience is an ambient one from start to finish. Varied vitolas, all pleasingly plump, invite your attention, each one as smoothly satisfying as the last! |
