Oct 17th 2011 - Romeo y Julieta Viejo

Today's cigar is the Romeo y Julieta Viejo E in a 6x54 vitola. The Romeo y Julieta Viejo features a Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers with a Honduran binder. This cigar features earthy and woddy tones throughout with a hint of spice on the finish. I chose this to be today's cigar as a memorial to Dan Wheldon. Dan passed away yesterday during the Indy Car finale at Las Vegas Speedway. Dan was a 2 time Indy 500 winner and the 2005 Indy Car Series Champion. Dan was a very exciting racer to watch and he will be greatly missed. Growing up I went to a lot races with my father and this cigar reminds me of those days. RIP Dan and thanks for the memories
