Soli construction and consistent smoke. The combination of Habana 2000 and other Nicaraguan binder and filler makes this cigar a near classic puro.

I love these cigars. Peppery with rich twangy bright chocolate notes and a smooth finish. Not the most complex cigar but it hits it's own notes loud and clear. Great construction too. Only thing is that I need to use my draw poker on a few but even that's better than expected from a torpedo.

I got a box on auction for about $60, so I essentially got away with highway robbery. I bought this for my boss for Christmas because we both smoke a lot of cigars. I hadn't tried this AJ version yet, so I told him the box was his as long as I could try one! He gave me 2, and I'm glad he did because the first one was simply wonderful. The first thing I noticed is that this is constructed like a Sherman tank. It's perfectly packaged, rolled, and sturdy. It lit right on point, burned perfectly even all the way down to the nub. It was kind of uncanny how perfect it burned with my smoking pace. The flavors were not as "rustic" if you will, as the normal RyJ. Kind of nutty, slightly sweet, but still burly overall. Smoked this for about 70 minutes and probably could have gone another 10-15. Short version... can't go wrong with this.

The packaging is nice. The sticks are wrapped in cedar sleeves. Construction is nice and smooth. Definitely a wedding quality stick. The draw was smooth, volumes of cool sweet smoke. The wife was like "Wow, that's so aromatic!" So, I let her take a few puffs. Finally got it back and on to the flava, definitely hints of toasted leather and tea with a touch of pepper for spice and creaminess...maybe almond or something. For consistency, it burned even, stayed lit and was great to the nub. I got a box and a hell of a deal. Plus 5 free to boot. The freebies were suppose to be robusto, But the Cigar Gods upgraded me to the Beligoso's. Me very happy!

This is as premium a smoke as options costing twice as much, and I've had plenty of those too. The construction quality and burn is incredible. What really surprised me was how a medium-to-full bodied cigar can have this smooth of a retrohale. I'm glad I bought a full box.

So might just be my fault as I only let them sit in my “quarantine box” to acclimate for about 3 day before I couldn’t resist anymore. Started out good. Was pleased with them even though it didn’t particularly stand out but seemed to be a quality smoke none the less. At about the he halfway mark it became a chore to keep lit and stopped producing smoke while the flavor turned stale. Like half the stick was over humidified even though there was some dry flaking under the label. Inspected its temporary home which was at about 68RH monitored with a freshly calibrated accurate hygrometer verified by a secondary remote sensor. Everything checked out ok. Other new arrivals in the box smoked just fine. I expect after some time they will get better. I just need more patience I think. They’re worth a try even if they don’t become part of the rotation.

Title shows that i saw this beautiful cigars and bought a full box. They look amazing , they smell great, they burn even, they are cheap..so they should be on paper a great smoke no?
Unfortunately its not the case, will try to explain.
They lack power, hump, they are very light IMHO, they have grassy notes, a few oaky whiffs every now and then, they smoke OK , not great, some in that box where not very evenly filled, some had runs, 2 where plugged. The construction its baffling, they look goof, they feel good, nice wrappers, but once lite, them (some) develop faults that you can not see right away very strange.
I got them for about 3 bucks a pop and even at that rate i would not recommend getting a full box, if you like/love them , never mind my review, but if you have not had this, try a couple and see what do you think.

When I purchased them over the phone with your representative they were in stock but never shipped. I called and the representative said the reason they didn't ship is because they were out of stock. You should have broken a box and ship me my 10 cigars but instead you let me hang. I committed to buying the cigars and you should have committed to selling me the cigars even if it meant breaking a box open to do so... I purchased these cigars from you all the time and they're very good but I was very unhappy to learn that you took my order but never sent me the cigars.

Extremely solid construction and consistency. I use a V cut the wrapper and binders are so oily they sometimes block the draw! (This can be simply rectified by rubbing the cut gently). I don't usually smoke full strength cigars, I had tried this in a sampler in Toro vitola and was very impressed. The Belicoso is by far superior. The Habano 2000 Maduro is extremely unique, spicy yet slightly creamy and sweet, the notes of ceder are very pleasant as well.

If you're already an AJ Fernandez fan, then you know what to expect.
This RYJ is my favorite.. ever since timidly ordering a fiver years ago, after some time enjoying The Bully - I figured AJF is always consistent with his blends, might as well check it out.
WELL .. this stick is in Stock in my humi - regularly now.
The 6.5x52 Torpedo is my favorite stick for this blend.
From the first third through to the Nub.. you're in for a great mild nuance changes and that last third makes it all worth wating on.
This has become a 2hr smoke for me.
I've learned to be slow and purposeful with any smokes I really enjoy. I'll take a draw from it every one-two min and enjoy the perfect burn and sturdy ash that is consistently Top Shelf

There are a lot of comments that can be said whenever it comes to discussing or reviewing any of the cigars released by STG's portfolio of U.S. tobacco brands, and even more especially when it's one of their brands which is intentionally named the same as one of the original Cuban cigar companies, however one of the best ways to immediately balance that back out is to recruit someone such as AJ Fernandez to make the cigar for you, as one thing that will almost certainly come from doing such is that in the end at the very least you will likely end up with an end result that is, at the very least, a quality stick. AJF has been blending cigars since the age of 13 & he not only was already doing so with a world class tobacco dynasty behind him (Plasencia & his uncle Nestor), but he was also gifted with an endless supply of crops & selections to pull from to create his blends. It's said that Plasencia & AJF now own &/or control about 90% of the tobacco that comes out of Nicaragua which is pretty much the largest share of any tobacco region in the world not named San Andreas (where for at least four generations the Turrent family has supposedly owned & run all of that supply), and yet despite the fact that AJF produces several lines of cigars for his own brand.under his name, plus at least one for virtually every other company out there,and even somehow finds time to still churn out blends anonymously, the truth is that I've hardly ever seen him let any stick that'sunder his direction leave the factory as a subpar creation, and once again this is no different. R & J, meanwhile, has also had their own mega-succesful release out of Nicaragua with their blue (Nicaraguan) version of the Real Reserva, which debuted is it really sell as a CA top 10 stick the year of it's initial release & has continued to be a masterful blend. This production while not as good as that one, nor one of AJ's overall best still performs in a fully respectable way from taste & flavor to smoke output & flow to packaging, overall quality & most of all especially price points (which at barely over $3 a stick there is absolutely nothing that can be said about this which is all that negative since it clearly & absolutely delivers a better flavor & smoke that most, if not nearly all others at that same price point. Is it equivalent to AJF's Ramon Allones or his New World, no, but it is still a complete and total steal for what JR Cigars is pushing out at & pretty much a no-brainer, as well.

JUCAJB
Two industry giants have come together to create a fantastic premium smoke made exclusively for us! Romeo y Julieta Crafted by A.J. Fernandez cigars feature the much sought after Habana 2000 wrapper on top of aged Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos harvested solely for this blend. This eye-catching, and expertly fashioned ( 6 x 52) Belicoso is medium to full body in strength and crammed with creamy textured notes of cocoa, zesty spice, sweet cedar, and some subtle fruit notes on the back end.
