Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Bully opens with a balanced medium-bodied profile, delivering an immediate combination of sweet cedar, toasted bread, and light cocoa accented by a gentle floral note. Early retrohales introduce a mild white pepper spice layered with almond, hay, and a hint of citrus zest, providing a refreshing lift to the opening flavors. As the cigar progresses into the second third, richer notes of roasted cashews, caramel, and soft baking spice develop, adding warmth and depth to the blend’s core. The final third brings a more grounded complexity, with espresso crema, dark chocolate, and toasted oak creating a smooth, lingering finish that remains approachable yet satisfying.
