Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Churchill Cigars - Rated 90 by Cigar Aficionado
The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Churchill is a fascinating anomaly in the cigar world. While it wears a light Connecticut wrapper, it is actually a Nicaraguan puro. This groundbreaking line is the result of a powerhouse collaboration between Aging Room’s Rafael Nodal and the legendary Nestor Plasencia. Produced at the massive Plasencia Cigars S.A. factory, the blend utilizes premium Nicaraguan leaves for the filler and binder, but the wrapper is the true innovation. It is a proprietary Nicaraguan Connecticut-seed leaf grown on Plasencia’s private farms and aged for over three years. This "Connecticut Nicaraguan" hybrid has clearly struck a chord with critics, earning a distinguished 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado.
The branding is a masterclass in classic luxury, featuring cream-colored bands with elegant gold and black lettering. As expected from a Plasencia-built stick, the construction is impeccable, offering an ideal draw that produces thick, white smoke from the initial light. The flavor journey begins with a defined toasty note that transitions into nuances of hay and cedar. Early on, notes of cream and white pepper emerge and persist through the second third, while a faint espresso note lingers in the background. The retrohale is sweet and spicy yet remarkably clean. Starting out mild, the profile evolves into a definitive medium-bodied experience by the final puff.
Measuring 7” x 50, this Churchill vitola is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate a lengthy, relaxing session, offering over two hours of refined smoking pleasure. It is a versatile choice that suits both novices and seasoned connoisseurs alike. If you are a fan of the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real or Plasencia Cosecha 146, you will find this blend to be the perfect "middle ground" between those two legends. Pair it with Champagne, cognac, or a crisp pilsner for an unforgettable experience with the world’s first true Connecticut Nicaraguan cigar.
