Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill Robusto came out in 2006 and got really famous via cigar aficionado top 25 cigar of the year. The fame forced the production up in 2007 which lead to quality issues during the year. Fortunately by end of the year quality went up again and cigars are now at the level where they should have been. One thing that I noticed was that compared to cigars from June and July 2007 the October cigars were box pressed. Good dark looking wrapper. I have taken some pictures and the right cigar is the new box pressed and the left one is the old one which is not box pressed at all and almost round.

Right cigar is new box pressed
