Romeo y Julieta

ROMEO Y JULIETA

Exhibition No.4

This was the nearest cigar to a Robusto in Romeo’s range for a very long time; slightly thinner (48 ring gauge) but longer (5 inches). It remains a wonderful format for displaying all the flavour and nuance to be found within the Romeo blend.

Cazadores

A Lonsdale size, more or less, presented in bundles wrapped in silver foil. The name translates as ‘Hunters’, which means it should be at home in the UK.

Belicoso

Not a size or shape that is widely associated with Romeo but it has been around for decades offering a reliable, easy drawing passport to the brand’s elegant, medium-bodied taste.

Petit Corona

A mellow, well-balanced, pressed cigar, which, along with its round counterpart the No.2 tube, is by far the most popular Romeo size.

Mille Fleur

The name translates from French into English as “thousand flowers” and, as you might expect, it is a cigar with a generously floral bouquet. The same dimensions as the more ubiquitous Petit Corona, this cigar has been handmade and long-filler since its reintroduction in 2002.

Club Kings

This classic medium-bodied Mareva is presented in a vintage-style cigar tin with a flip-top lid that holds five cigars. This was the first release from the new ‘Linea Retro’ with more quickly following.

Petit Royales

The factory name for cigars of this shape is “Caprichos”, from the Spanish word meaning “whims”. It is produced to the classic medium-bodied R&J blend and is a whim that can happily be indulged even when time is short.

Julieta

A cigar created by Romeo with his partner in mind as the name suggests. A perfectly good smoke for both genders and is presented in a beautiful tin of 5.

Petit Julieta

The factory name tells us the size was designed for intervals at the theatre (Entreactos translates to Between Acts). There are many more reasons for short smoking breaks these days.

Cedros No.2

You should remember that a Romeo Cedros No.2 is a Corona, whereas a No.2 (Tubos) is a Petit Corona. Armed with this knowledge, you have here a classic Cuban Corona with added fragrance imparted by its cedar wrap.

Cedros No.3

In line with Romeo’s Cedros code, the Cedros No.3 is a Petit Corona. It is as good a cigar of this size as you will find, an easy and refined smoke.

No.1

A slender Corona that offers good value for its size. Cedar-wrapped in an aluminium tube you can take it almost anywhere without fear of damage or loss of condition.

No.2

Romeo’s best known and most popular size. A round cigar, as opposed to the pressed Petit Corona, it comes in a cedar-lined tube. Medium flavoured elegance ready where and when you want it.

No.3

Not as small a cigar as you might think. A decent ring gauge with a length that won’t leave you out in the cold too long. A useful small cigar.

Linea de Oro

Hidalgos

Since the 12th century the Spanish word Hidalgo has been used to describe a nobleman and this smart cigar, adorned with two bespoke golden bands, is certainly worthy of the name. Its length is that of a class robusto, but an extra seven ring gauge points helps to make this a very modern Havana and the widest within the entire R&J portfolio.

Nobles

The Nobles impressively demonstrates the new medium-to-full bodied blend of this Romeo y Julieta linea in a size never seen before. The only figurado in the Linea de Oro, this will provide around an hour of smoking time. Ideal with a chilled glass of rosé champagne.

Dianas

The Dianas is close in size to the all-conquering Cohiba Siglo VI. It shares its ring gauge but includes an extra 5mm in length. All of the medium-to-full bodied, aromatic and nuanced flavour is on full display in this majestic Havana.
