Certainly we have all had the same cigar perform differently at different times. That said, I haven't had Patrick's experience over two previous boxes and, so far, a third box.

Without knowing how the cigar was kept prior to being gifted it may have something to do with that? I was sorry to hear of your problems Patrick.

I guess I can leave my 2-cents on the cigar when its performing correctly…These are one of a handful of my favorite Cuban sticks. I really like the strong woody characteristic with the coming and going spicy burn. The Series D has one of the most balanced spice profiles I can remember and the burn, more times than not, requires no touch-ups or just one single correction. All-in-all, this is a world-class smoke.

I'd give one of these another try. One they are on, they are fantastic! I've had great construction on recent production and they smoke well ROTT. 4.5/5

Again one of the best Cuban Robusto’s gets 3 stars. This is a joke.

Sounds like the cigar may have been a little “wet.” Cubans are best kept at between 60-65% humidity, instead of the “recommended” 70%.

Just a thought.

[...] Unlike Partagas Cubans, the Romeo y Julieta band is very similar to its Dominican-made, completely unrelated counterpart that’s legally available in the U.S. Looks like Altadis went to great lengths to bear as many similarities to the Cuban-manufactured Romeos as possible. [...]

I forgot to mention that the Romeo Y Julieta Short Churchill is an awesome smoke! You have to try it! Way better than the Partagas!
