Romeo y Julieta Belicoso Box Code: PEL ENE 01 Measurements: 5 ½ x 52 Size: Campana
Pre light An oily belicoso with a slightly wrinkled wrapper, the pre-light aroma and flavor is of honey and cedar. The cigar appears to be well-constructed and cuts easily.
1 Third The cigar is easy to light and has a wonderful cedar aroma. The draw is good releasing more of these flavors in the mouth. There is a slight sweetness to the wrapper. The cigar appears to be almost mild- to medium-bodied and is incredibly smooth.
2 Third The cigar is burning well, and the flavors of honey and cedar are consistent. The ash is flaky and falling indiscriminately on my keyboard as I’m typing. There is a slight peppery note on the finish.
Last third The aroma is still very nice, and the flavors are the same. A relight was required.
Overall impression: This cigar has nice construction and mellow flavors. I prefer the Exhibiciion #4 overall. I don’t see myself putting a box of these in the humidor any time soon.
Rating: 3/6 smoke rings (an average cigar)

I did a review myself more than 6 mos ago, and I can see some differences and some similarities. It was interesting to compare. Mine should've been from 2005 or early 2006 though.
