Romeo and Julieta Churchill Habana - Two for One


The two for one really stands for two cigar reviews under one heading.  I was given this cigar (Heading) and it was advertised as being a Cuban.  The label does give that indication as the Hupman that I was also given.  I have the same opinion about both:


Flavor is OK, both were somewhat earthy, but not particularly good.  These cigars stay lit, draw well, burn evenly and has a relatively constant taste throughout the smoke.

Diamond E CS rank = 3.0 (barely)

Monte Cristo Fer De Lance - Deep Fried Maduro


Before smoking this cigar, I was told that it had a bold maduro taste which I seem to enjoy.  The cigar taste was bold, but I really could not pin it down to maduro.  So if it is maduro, then I would liken it to the difference between a baked potato and a french fry...if you try hard enough with a french fry you can detect the potato.  This cigar stays lit, draws well, burns evenly and has a relatively constant taste throughout the smoke.  Because it is well constructed and unique taste I will give it a..... 

Diamond E CS rank = 3.5
