Romeo Y Julieta was a cigar that, from the very beginning, was steeped in romance. More than a century ago, factory leaders would read aloud from the famous Shakespeare play to instill in their rollers one important fact: this cigar is about love, just like the eternal couple that shares its name. So, for the 150th anniversary of this special cigar, Altadis U.S.A. has pulled out all the stops in what the brand calls a “hall of fame” lineup. This refers not only to the makeup of the cigar, or the legendry names attached to the project, but also first-of-its-kind processes that were put in place to create this cigar and make it truly one of a kind. Containing an Sumatra Ecuador wrapper that has been carefully aged and fermented by AJ Fernandez, a vibrant Mexican San Andres binder harvested by the Turrent Family and filler tobacco comprised of rare Peruvian tobaccos, Honduran leaves from the Jamastran Valley, and premium Dominican tobaccos from Jose Mendez & Co., this cigar announces itself as premium the moment one absorbs its alluring cold draws and the aromatics of its voluminous smoke. The filler tobacco also contains a specially fermented leaf that is undisclosed; a blender’s secret that lends a layer of mystery and complexity to this top-end cigar, which should be reserved in your humidor for the most special of occasions. When the time calls for the perfect cigar and no substitute will do, Romeo Y Julieta 150 is the perfect option. Cedar and spice fade into a seemingly bottomless cup of creamy coffee with a hint of sweet cocoa. The taste of this medium-bodied cigar will coat your palate and leave a longing for more on your tongue. Crafted with a brand-new rolling process that Altadis U.S.A. only allowed its most experienced rollers to work on, the construction of this cigar is flawless and burns perfectly throughout.
