The Romeo San Andres by Romeo y Julieta Piramides is a medium to full-strength torpedo with perfectly blended premium tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. A carefully aged, dark Mexican San Andres wrapper artfully cloaks the Romeo San Andres’ Nicaraguan binder, which contains a superbly blended filler made of Nicaraguan and Mexican San Andres long-filler tobaccos. All these fine tobaccos combine to make the Romeo Andres by Romeo y Julieta a strong and flavorful smoking experience you will want to keep in your regular rotation.

The wrapper is dark brown with a couple of raised veins. The veins carry a slightly lighter color to them which makes them easily visible. The seams are hard to detect except for when they cross a vein. The head appears to be finished of with a well applied double cap. One other thing to note is that the cigar is rock hard with no give when squeezed. The band has the new Romeo design, primarily in black with white lettering and gold borders. It also denotes San Andres on it. The aroma from the wrapper is bright wood, kind of like pine, along with damp earth. The foot brings wood (not bright) and natural tobacco sweetness. The pre-light draw is pretty simple as it’s just a light wood note.
The cigar started with a profile of dark wood, earthiness and black pepper and settled into wood and earthiness. A chalkiness came in along with some cocoa in the first third and the chalkiness remained for a majority of the cigar until it was replaced by mustiness. The flavors weren’t anything special and I would say were pretty typical for a blend wrapped in San Andres. The construction was fantastic. If you’re a San Andres fan, then definitely give this a try to see what you think. For me, I’m looking for a little more in the flavor category and am not sure I’d be too much in a hurry to go back to this one.
