by Johnny Mixx on February 23, 2010

Romeo y Julieta 1875The renowned Romeo y Julieta is one of the world’s best selling brands. This Dominican version is medium bodied with a smooth and crisp aroma.

The reblended non Cuban version of this cigar is medium-bodied with a distinctively smooth flavor and pleasant aroma. The cigar has a short and concise finish. One of the best aspects of this cigar is that it is made in virtually every shape you can imagine. From tubed to untubed there is a cigar shape that will appeal to any fine cigar enthusiast.

Since its introduction into the US, Romeo y Julieta has seen such success, that many line extensions have since debuted, but nothing has been able to top the classic line. The Romeo y Julieta draws its unique aroma from the rich wrapper that finishes each cigar. This wrapper adds a tangy and lightly spicy twist to the wood notes that are present in the cigar. As one of the most recognizable names, Romeo y Julieta is a true classic and is the preferred cigar of smokers everywhere.
