Romeo y Julieta Cigars

Romeo y Julieta Cigars, established in 1875 and named after Shakespeare’s famous lovers, is a legendary Cuban‑heritage brand that today is handmade for the U.S. market primarily in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras.

Under Altadis U.S.A., popular non‑Cuban lines such as Romeo y Julieta 1875, Reserva Real, Reserva Real Nicaragua, 1875 Nicaragua, RyJ, and various 150th anniversary and limited releases use Connecticut Shade, Habano, San Andrés, Sumatra, and Nicaraguan wrappers over Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan cores to deliver everything from creamy, mild‑to‑medium profiles to richer, spicier cigars with notes of cedar, toast, coffee, cocoa, and sweet spice.

Aficionados choose Romeo y Julieta when they want classic name recognition, consistent construction, and a wide spectrum of strengths and flavor profiles that make the brand equally at home with new smokers and long‑time connoisseurs.
