Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve ~ Belicoso

[Smoked!]

Another solid review, Will. Great photos, as always. Your note reminded me of a small stash of RJ Habanas I put away a while back. For some reason my belicosos are pointy on one end... In any case, you inspired me to fire one up! Great smoke. Nice work on the review.

Thanks for your great review. Looks like one I will have to try. Sigh.... So many cigars, so little time!!

You sure you don't have the toros? I could be wrong too, but I know it was 6" +/- and that ring gauge.

Oh, and thanks for the support guys. I enjoy doing the reviews.

I did some looking into this as well. I really like the Habana Reserves. I know they make a torpedo-ish cigar (I've smoked a few), and they make a toro. I was reasonably sure the toros don't have a pointy end. A quick search on the internet leads me to limited vitolas in the Habana Reserve line - anyone else know more about this?

By the way, if anyone is interested in a split, these look tasty, and are a nice price right now.

PM'd ya...

Also, this is what convinced me those pointy ones are the Toro:

I was always under the impression that the pointy ones are Belicosos - that's at least in the case of ISOMs...

Well, you guys are the experts, so I guess I named this one wrong too.

Oh well. I would think that there wouldn't be much of a difference in blend between these two sizes, as they are so similar (so similar that I screwed it up)

Beli, 6 1/8" x 52


Toro, 6 x 56


(ignore the variation in wrapper colour)

I don't think that there would be a huge difference in taste. My guess is that the main difference would be "mouth feel" - some folks just don't like big cylinders on their lips .
