    Montecristo and Romeo Y Julieta

    Are these any good in portions? I was just wondering. The only site I can find to get them you have to get them in rolls. Are they worth it? Thanks for the help.

      If you like anise, I think they're excellent. There are two sites I know of that will sell individual cans... I'll PM you.

        Excellent.

        Took some getting used to, as the flavor is very different from SM or other common brands, but 1/2 way thru the can I saw the light. I say if you like Gotlands Yellow, you will love Montecristo. I think the R&Js are similar too -- I don't get much, if any, anise. I prefer the Montecristo, and the los is off the hook. I have posted this a million time I feel like, but for single cans of either:

        Hope you enjoy it.

          Thanks guys. Maybe I'll stay away from them though because I hate anis flavored things. How black licorice tasting are we talking here? I've heard people say the same about Claq Qui and I don't taste it at all. It's actually my favorite. I am not a huge fan of gottlands yellow either, not bad, but will probably never buy it again.

            I never got to try the Romeo y Julieta and I've only ever had the Montecristo in loose form. It was pretty good, but I really don't think I'd buy it too often even if it were legal to import to the US. The lemon flavor is too overbearing for my tastes and the price is too high for me to justify buying it, especially since you only get 35 grams per can as opposed to the usual 45 or 50. I'd probably buy a can every now and again, but it really isn't my thing. If they dropped that lemon flavor, I'd be more inclined to buy it again. I'd love to taste a pure tobacco snus made with Cuban tobacco.

                I love the lös, and it would be a regular if it were hassle free to buy. But the cost combined with the hassle isn't worth it to me. The portions were alright, but if you don't like Gotland snus, you won't like these. They come from the same plant, and share a house flavor.

                  Condor, too bad to hear you didn't like the Romeo #2. I have a can in the freezer I've been saving for some occasion and I wondered what was up with the No. 2, red and white, all that. Hope I like it

                      The US embargo of Cuba. They contain actual cuban tobacco.

                        It has Cuban tobacco in it, and the USA hasn't allowed anything from Cuba since the 50s or 60s. Ridiculous waste of time and effort :^/

                          Only the RyJ has the anise, the Montecristo is safe.
