Quick Smoke: Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill (Cuban)

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

Wow. This robusto-sized masterpiece, which earned a perfect five-stogie rating from my colleague in a June review, is simply fantastic. It boasts stellar physical properties and well-balanced flavors of coffee, leather, cream, and gingerbread. An extra 11 months in my humidor paid big dividends, rendering this oily Cuban well worth its going rate of $110 for a box of 10.

Verdict = Buy.
