Romeo y Julieta Hidalgos

Romeo y Julieta, one of the oldest and most recognisable cigar brands in the world, has introduced a new line, called Línea de Oro. Originally announced in 2020 to commemorate 145 years of the iconic brand, the new line is presented in three sizes: 

Dianas (5⅜” (145mm) x 52), 

Hidalgos (5” (125mm) x 57) and

Nobles (5⅓” (135mm) x 56)

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, similar to those found on Cohiba vitolas.

"The Cuban Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro line is the super-premium extension of the core Romeo brand, much the way Behike is to Cohiba or the Línea 1935 is to Montecristo. To indicate its upper-echelon exclusivity in the Cuban portfolio, Habanos dressed the cigars in ornate, holographic bands and packaged them in gleaming boxes made of lacquered red sycamore. But the cigar isn’t just about pageantry or inflated prices. Yes, the cigars here are more expensive than core Romeos, but they are indeed exceptional and the Hidalgos was the finest Romeo y Julieta we had all year, with a festive palate of fruit and nuts, specifically dried fig, raisin, almond and pecan."
