Romeo y Julieta Hermosos No.2 - Edición Limitada 2004.
Nice cigar with classical Cuban flavor.

I hope that worked, I haven't uploaded direct from my phone before.

The rain finally stopped so i was going to have this la Rica no.4 this morning. unfortunately the wind really picked up and half an hour later the rain was back with a vengeance. I had to settle for smelling the unlit cigar. Outer wrapper smells of cedar, hay and a kind of rotten compost smell that I don't want to cal rotten because it's a really nice smell. The foot has more like a toasted nuts and milk chocolate aroma, with cedar and hay and maybe walnut. Hoping for better weather on Monday when I'll next have time for it.

Just had that la rica. I wasn't that impressed to be honest, especially since it wasn't the one I wanted when I ordered. Quite earthy in a minerally kind of way, almost metalic, bit of cinamon, dark chocolate or maybe cocoa. Tasted ok and got a bit spicier towards the end with a hint of white pepper, but didn't really develop much apart from that. Smelling it unlit was better than smoking it. It was a petit corona and I've heard a bigger ring guage allows for more flavour development. Is that correct?

I personally think that after about 52 ring, it starts going the other way. That's only based on my limited experience by the way, but I really like the figurado and torpedo shapes, it seems they gather a lot of flavor from the tapered roll. Again, its just from what I've been able to gather from what I've smoked.

This was only 40 ring. So far the most complex and interesting tastes have been from the two robustos I've smoked. I had a chess maduro corona that was very nice but not all that complex. I ordered a chess maduro robusto, but looking at the size I think it's a short sublime and I'm pretty sure it's a 60 ring, so we'll see how that goes when we next get a break in the rain. I'm thinking I might find a decent tasting cigar and order one from each size and shape available to explore how it affects the flavours. I found a uk company to order from, so I should be able to do things a bit cheaper now. I got to try my new cutter at last, so this wasn't a wasted smoke.

In theory... The wrapper leaf presents the majority of the flavor. Hence, the smaller the ring gauge, the more flavor, flavor !

In theory anyway...
