Romeo Montecristo Columbus Day Sampler

Columbus Day marks the official date the world discovered the pleasure of cigar smoking. The Native Americans greeted the Spanish explorer with tobacco leaves bunched together in their hands. They lit the bunch with a flame and took in the great smoke. The new gig took Europe by fire and ever since then we celebrate this holiday with a passion. This great sampler represents the best of the best of the cigar world.

Our first cigar as we hit land is Romeo y Julieta Churchill (7 x 50) It is always consistent and spicy to the core this slow burn treasure is crisp and creamy with hints of dark coffee and cream.

Second cigar is Montecristo White Toro (6 x 54) - a deliciously fragrant smoke with silky soft golden skin, creamy flavors and succulent with honey notes of glazed almonds.

Our third cigar is Romeo Y Julieta Vintage Maduro Toro (6 x 50) Darkly rich, the mystique of the Romeo y Julieta Reserve Maduro matches the dark romance in its tragic Shakespearean namesake. Exquisitely blended with a harmony of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler, with a Nicaraguan binder and an oily Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper, this medium to full-bodied smoke captures the essence and depth of the romantic tragedy, and holds a sensually aromatic taste.

Number 4 is Montecristo Buena Fortuna (5 x 48). The massive Montecristo is an awesome smoke with sweet nutty flavors, golden skin and rich tastes of slightly roasted coffee beans with a smooth finish.

The last pick is Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Robusto (5 x 52), with creamy hints of Cafe ‘con leche‘ on the palate, it burns slow and sweet with a long ending of chestnuts notes.
