Great review! Last night I smoked a 6 month old Romeo y Juliet Short Churchill for what I thought would be the final game of the series. Great smoke!
Back to your review you have convinced me to give these a try. I strayed away from Cuban Cohibas about four years ago. My wife and I take a trip down south annually and I just did not thoroughly enjoy Cohibas because of their strenght. Last year I discovered Esplendidos and its the first Cohiba that I have liked. It seems as this one will be right up my alley.
In all fairness to Cohiba I have now developed a likeness to more full bodies smokes now so I might have to try out the line again. I still have two Esplendidos and an unknown 4 year old Cohiba Cuban stray in my humidor but I am going to let the Esplendidos sit for another couple of years. Now sure if the stray will be stronger or milder with its age but its one of the cigars that I thought was too strong some years back. Not that I disliked it but I liked em more mellow at the time and may love it now.
