Description
The Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Churchill is a 7 x 50 cigar with an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and a filler of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. It is made for Altadis U.S.A. at the Tabacalera de GarcÃa factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado has reviewed this exact size twice. In April 2016 it scored 87 points, rated mild-medium, and tasters described a creamy smoke built on bread and grain, with a hint of cinnamon and a straw and hay close. The February 2022 review came in at 86 points and mild: it burned evenly but drew a little thin, with pencil shavings, walnut, toast and a bit of lemon peel over a woody, mildly tart base.
Who It’s For
- Smokers who prefer a mellow cigar but want a long one.
- Golfers and patio smokers after an easygoing afternoon cigar.
- Fans of the Reserva Real Robusto who want that blend in a slower format.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Traditional 7 x 50 Churchill proportions
- Burned evenly in Cigar Aficionado’s 2022 tasting
- Cigar Aficionado’s mild and mild-medium ratings suggest an easy daytime smoke
Cons
- Modest scores: 87 (2016) and 86 (2022) from Cigar Aficionado
- The 2022 tasting flagged a thin draw and a flat finish
About the Reserva Real
Cigar Aficionado describes Reserva Real as a Dominican core line blended to sit between mild and medium. Don’t confuse it with the Reserva Real Nicaragua, a separate all-Nicaraguan blend made at the AJ Fernandez factory, which halfwheel reported was first announced as a March 2020 release.
Pairing
Cigar Aficionado’s tastings lean mild, which suggests a light lager or pilsner; if you smoke it as the medium cigar JR Cigar and Holt’s describe, coffee is a good match; our cigar and drink pairing guide has more by strength.
