Presentation:

The Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill Tubos comes in 5 packs of 3 cigars in tubes with Habanos Packing Code D-C-C/P-3-A/T-15

Dimensions:

Length: 124mm

Diameter: 19.84mm

Ring Gauge: 50

Shape:  Short Churchill

Appearance:

The Colorado shade wrapper is a little toothy to the touch, light brown in color and the veins are a little visible. The cigar is tightly rolled and well packed, it is pretty firm from the head to the foot when squeezed. Well made triple cap. The cigar sports a second and elegant golden band that reads “Short Churchills”.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up:

Unlit, the wrapper smells like wood with a nice tobacco flavor. The cold draw is typical Cuban tobacco and some wood and spices notes.

Burn/Draw:

The construction on the Short Churchill is top-notch, as the draw on this cigar is great and effortless throughout. The burn line is slightly wavy at the beginning, but it is correcting itself further on, it doesn’t require any attention. At the foot, about an inch of a dark grey ash holds on firmly. Generous billows of smoke are generated at each draw; the smoke has an earthy aftertaste.

Initial third:

Woody flavors greet you upon lighting the cigar, leaving some saltiness on the lips and on the finish. The dominant flavors in the first third are of wood and earthiness, while some pepper notes, not too spicy, are also present. The smoke is creamy and thick.

Middle third:

In the second third, the saltiness from the first third is gone and now there is ample space for some tasty tobacco, leather and still some spiciness from pepper. Some darker notes are also appearing around the halfway point, we get some mineral, some earth hints and some strong espresso notes. The undertone of espresso lingered until the final third. The body of the cigar is now in the medium range, while the finish is a bit stronger. The smoke is now whiter and less creamy.

Final third:

In the final third, the woodiness is joined by some notes of bitter chocolate. The spiciness is still around, but never over powerful. The flavor profile is typical Romeo y Julieta, with some hints of fruits here and there. The Short Churchill leaves you with a smooth, rich finish and takes you by surprise and leaves you with your hunger...

In summary, a splendid, medium- to full-bodied cigar that is well made with a good burn and smooth draw producing lots of smoke loaded with classic Romeo y Julieta flavors. Should be even better as the years roll by.

Smoking time: 45 - 90 Minutes

Very smooth smoke. Had not had one in some time but just as good as I remember. Tubes great to avoid damage.

At the golf course, these have become a favorite in my foursome and with the rest of the club. Smooth and creamy. Perfect for the 19th hole or even lazing around the backyard on a crisp, Autumn night. I like to pair it with a top shelf bourbon. It really doesn’t get any better.

I've never been a big fan of Romeo and Julieta cigars but the short Churchill is a nice medium bodied smoke with an easy draw. Great for a lazy afternoon or easy evening especially if accompanied with a glass of Shiraz and a good book. I would highly recommend this cigar for a beginner.
