Description

Romeo y Julieta Linea de Oro was originally announced in 2020 to commemorate 145 years of the iconic brand. The new line is presented in three sizes: Dianas, Hidalgos and Nobles. All three sizes have been blended to a medium to full taste, a step up from the famous medium bodied blend used in the classic range. The cigars are presented in stylish red lacquered boxes that carry an embossed medallion set on the lid. Each of the 20 cigars within are dressed with a bespoke band bearing the name of the individual vitola and a unique golden foot band that have edges trimmed with holographic elements. Charming aromas of fresh bread crust and nuts are surrounded by more fragrant, floral and discreetly fruity notes. The sweet smoke gains a tart malty cocoa undertone.

Intensity of Taste: Medium to Full

Length: 135mm

Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Habano date back to 1875. The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th Century under the direction of Don “Pepin” Fernandez, a talented promoter, who was among the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his acne no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production. Winston Churchill became a devotee of Romeo y Julieta. Since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been commemorated on a band but it has also served to describe the marque’s most famous size measuring 7 inches (178 mm) by 47 ring gauge — the Churchill. Romeo y Julieta’s balanced and aromatic blend of selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region make it the classic medium bodied Habano. Today Romeo y Julieta is as well known around the world as ever and offers the widest range of totalmente a mano, tripa larga – totally hand made, long filler – sizes available in any Habano brand.
