Flavor Profile
The Romeo 505 Nicaragua cigar is not just appealing in appearance, but it is even more addictive in terms of flavor.
I tried this cigar for the first time and here is what I experienced:
As soon as I lit the cigar, the
first flavor on my palate was earth and leather. It was very well
complimented by a mixture of sweet and salty flavors and a lot of black pepper
underneath which, to me, is an incredible start. I loved the smoky feel so I
totally enjoyed it.
The blend of all the flavors
together is quite fascinating and exceptional. After a while, the salty and
sweet taste took over while the leather remained in the forefront. In
between, pleasing floral notes along with a
tinge of pepper spice danced on my palate.
On reaching the midway point, the sweet and salty flavor receded while leather pushed forward. The floral notes started striking my palate quite
often while black pepper stayed tucked away.
Finally, towards the end, leathery notes overcame the floral notes. Then came my favorite aroma: a mesmerizing aroma of
coffee bean and anise simply took my experience to the next level. I would say
that I really liked the flavor and would love to enjoy it again and again.
Conclusion
Romeo 505 Nicaragua is one of the most exciting and
strongest cigars of the Romeo line. Finally, Altadis has introduced something
that is new and different. The Nicaraguan tobacco in the cigar delivers
rich flavors of leather, earth with a moderate amount of spice, coffee, anise
and light floral notes. The price of $10 to $12 for a stick is fair enough.
Overall, this cigar with its unique flavor profile is worth a try.
