The verdict
The Romeo y Julieta Exhibición No. 4 is a balanced, medium-bodied smoke from Romeo y Julieta's Exhibición line. It's a Cuban corona extra (hermosos no. 4) wrapped in Cuban at 5 in × 48.
On the palate, expect cedar, cocoa, and roasted almond, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 55 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, aged rum, and dark chocolate. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
The Exhibición No. 4 has been part of the Romeo y Julieta range since the 1980s and is one of the brand's enduring favorites. The Hermosos No. 4 vitola — a 5-inch by 48 corona extra — is a versatile, easy-to-love shape.
What it tastes like
This is a medium-bodied Cuban that opens with cedar and cocoa, then develops added complexity as it burns: roasted almond, a subtle dark-fruit tartness, and a light pepper that keeps things lively. It moves into the medium-plus range toward the second half without ever becoming heavy, finishing long and balanced with a sweet-and-savory edge. Classic Havana character, executed cleanly.
Who it's for
The No. 4 is a great pick if you want something a little shorter and slimmer than a robusto but still rich enough to be interesting. It suits both newer smokers and old hands, and the format is perfect for a relaxed hour. If you want the bolder, tapered side of the brand, look at the Romeo y Julieta No. 2.
It pairs naturally with coffee or a square of dark chocolate. Rate it in the Casa DNC app and see how it stacks up against the other Romeos in your humidor.
