Hey guys, it's a new year, and a new review month! I started out with a little lighter stick to begin.
Let's get into this little slice of heaven!

Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real Corona Tubo:

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic

Pre-Light/Construction:

Once I opened it up, plume was everywhere on this little bastard. Nice and smooth. Barely any toothiness to the wrapper itself. Like a fresh flower bloom coming out of the tobacco barn it shined brightly. Almost made me wish it was morning and I had a fresh cup up coffee. As I walked it no the lounge, my buddy Castro was there doing some photo editing for some shots he recently did at the RoMaCrfat shop in Austin, Texas. He came to visit from his home in Vegas for the Weekend. The veins were very present giving it life that's going to burst in flavor. Seems were slightly present. The scent was very smooth in cedar. Still with all the plume, the age pretty much showed. Let's light her up!

The Burn Part 1:

The draw was nice and fluent. Alot of sweet cedar notes began the flavor train. Some deep black pepper notes hopped along to join, giving it a more broad start. The ash was very strong in light grey color. For a corona, the draw was still nice and smooth. Almost perfect. Sometime as the stick goes, there was no sweet notes to join along, unlike the sweet cedar note. A bit of earthy herbal notes were present, but very faint in the retro hale, thus ending the first 3rd.

The Burn Part 2:

Soon as it went down, there was some medium roast coffee notes to join the party. The pepper notes calmed down at this point. The sweet cedar notes stayed in the same strength. Some body started to build up a little bit. It was still considered a light smoke in my opinion. Some of the ash became a little flakey, but not too intrusive on the notes. By the end of the 2nd 3rd, the medium roast coffee notes bacemame a little thicker, like a dark raost.

The Burn Final:

At this point the dark roast coffee was pretty much leading in the race. With the pepper starting to dwindle back a bit and the sweet cedar notes doing the same as well, the stick became roasty and spongey. It was nearing the end. With the final puff, the dark roast coffee notes finished first with the sweet cedar in 2nd and the pepper notes coming in last. After I put it in the ashtray, I had some more talks and bought a beer for Castro until he parted for the day.

Verdict:

A stick for everyday, but even better with a cup of coffee in the morning. A must have even for the beginners. Grab a few.
