How are Romeo y julieta's from the D.R.? My sister bought me a cuban romeo, and it was dilishious.

how do the two compare?

for Dom. Republic cigars I like Macanudos myself, but that is personal preference.

Well after reading the forums here since I joined I think I have a sense of the defining attitudes on this board. If I follow the trend then I believe this should be my appropriate response:

I have tried the fonsecas and fuente but this was some time ago. I have just gotten a humidor for Christmas so am slowly getting back into cigars (I had one a few years ago but it got knocked off a table . I'll pick those up and give them a try, thanks for the recommendations. What traits/taste would you say they have? Which is your favourite?

i love anything that is fonseca.....fonseca,fonseca vintage,vegas de fonseca (awesome cameroon wrapped cigar...nicely priced), fonseca series f....la aurora and leon jimes come from the oldest factory in the D.R. (1903)...they're well made and flavorful,which is what you should be looking for....i won't deny that macanudo has a name...but there are hundreds of brands that are better,imho.
if you really enjoy a macanudo,i'd suggest you save your money and eat m&m's.....

Not a big candy fan myself so it looks like I will have to sample those... lucky for me there is a very nice cigar shop about 30 feet from where I work. :D
