Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion #4 ISOM
Hot damn! This here is a good, mild cigar. Quite the compliment coming from a guy who gravitates toward spicier sticks.
The wrapper of the #4 defied the odds and frankly, worried me a little. It was very light in color, heavily veined, and quite loose and wrinkly. I gather that some of this came from time in the humidor. With a light and airy feeling in the hand I just wasn’t sure if this was a good stick for me. “Not too hefty,” I thought. Never-the-less, I clipped and fired her up.
I could have lit this smoke with nothing more than a spark. Three puffs and I was well ignited and evenly burning. I have never had this experience before. It could have been due to the cigar being at “optimum” humidity, something I frequently fumble with.
The draw of the Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion #4 was quite smooth and provided bountiful plumes of smoke. For what is considered a light bodied cigar, the smoke hung nicely in my garage while I transplanted two orchids and a bunch of cacti at 11 PM. Again, I was surprised. I tasted hints of earthiness with a bit of light coffee aftertaste. The fullness of the smoke in my mouth was pleasant (and again, surprising).
The #4 was consistent throughout, only showing a hint of acidity toward the end. This is definitely a stick that should be smoked slowly though. If you were to rush it bitterness would most definitely ensue. The only downside of the stick was that it didn’t hold much of an ash. One inch was about all she was worth.
I’m not the least bit afraid to say that I would classify the Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion #4 ISOM as a “go to” smoke. It is pleasant and easy going but doesn’t crack your skull. A good thing after spending the majority of your day getting your skull cracked
