Romeo y Julieta Nobles
A beautifully smooth claro colorado cape cloaks this noble figurado, promising craftsmanship and care. The cold draw breathes fresh wood, clean and inviting, with a draw so precise it hints at a balanced journey ahead.
After lighting:
Upon lighting, the smoke rises light and sweet, unveiling delicate toasted notes mingled with a surprising caramel pop—reminding me of freshly made popcorn under a Havana sun. The draw, much improved from last year, delivers an airy stream that carries the flavors gently but with purpose.
Yet as the smoke deepens into the second third, the cigar sheds some of its initial charm. The softness yields to a firmer character; wood, spice, and pepper take center stage. The complexity dims slightly, like a rhythm losing its melody, trading warmth for a sharper focus.
In the final act, the smoke dries, the lingering bitterness from last year’s experience making its quiet return. It’s a reminder that even the most refined craftsmanship can leave a palate yearning, especially when the price tags are considered.
Reflection: While the Nobles shows elegance and a refined construction worthy of respect, it still misses the lush fullness and complexity that could elevate it to greatness. It’s a noble gesture, yes—but one that leaves the connoisseur quietly hoping for a richer encore.
