rascalmonkey Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 just saw this one up on BR: https://www.bondroberts.com/product/view/5408/Romeo y Julieta Robustos and it reminded of a happy incident ca. 2003-2005: a friend who went to school in Germany came back with 10-12 of these, so we had a bunch of fellows over my place to celebrate his return I lit mine well ahead of everyone else (greedy guy) and was comatose before I reached the halfway mark The 8 or so other guys all lit theirs and were laughing at me curled in the fetal position on the floor, moaning about 30 mins later I come out my coma & see they're all sprawled on the floor in my living room, comatose & moaning, so I collect all their smokes & while they were out I smoked prolly half of them! i wonder how strong they are now? at the time they were one of the best tasting smokes I had ever had 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I bought these when they first hit. $258 in Feb 03. A lot of money back then. CoRo was only in the low $300s in those days. They were god awful. Maybe they've improved but I've never heard anything good about them. I do recall them being very strong, and not in a good way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheGipper Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 I had one a few weeks ago from a box I've held since '03. HSA told us the early ELs were intended to be aged. They were right. They are outstanding now. Curious aging profile much like the 2000 Montecristo Robustos. Universally hated early, but transformed into something special after many years. Board-boss quote-debating will be ignored, it's just my (more recent) opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People raved about these and I got a box early on in my Cuban cigar smoking career. Just awful and one of the cigars that ended my EL buying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tstoner Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Pretty much in the top 5 of the best EL ever rolled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
