I don't smoke a ton of stuff from Altadis, but I found a nice closeout price on this size of Romeo. This cigar is supposed to be an entirely new blend, and it is also a stronger one. That caught my interest. This particular size appears to be more limited, based on some research I have done. The wrapper has a nice oily sheen to it, and some veins are visible. The cigar is tight and compact, but still allows for a good draw. The pre-light draw has a pleasant taste. I cut it with my punch, and toasted the foot. I chose to pair this smoke with lemonade.
1/3: Initial taste reveals pepper and mild leather. The burn line is slightly uneven. The cigar has a nice weight to it.
2/3: More of a meaty presence, towards the back of the mouth in the 2nd third. A touch-up was necessary to fix the uneven burn, which had started to get worse.
3/3: Cedar notes are present in the final third. For the closeout price of $3.99, I think I got my money's worth, however I'm not making plans to purchase a box.
Wrapper: Select Dark Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Dominican Piloto
Filler: Dominican Piloto and Olo
Size:4.0 x 60
