ROMEO Y JULIETA ANCIENT HUMIDOR

[FDNYGUY360]

Absolutely Stunning.

[88keys]

I thought the R&J Romeo I smoked in '79 or '80 was the greatest cigar I ever had. It's always stayed with me as the ultimate fantasy. I still love even the vitola, but the only one available now is ... Cuaba Distinguidos, unfortunately not so distinguished in my opinion. Of course these Romeos can't be anything like the ones from 30 years ago, but I wish that they were made available as ELs or in some more accessible way.

Beautiful.

You know, I REALLY wish they would release a double figurado regular production, or even EL or RE. I love the size.

One day, but not any time soon.... ;-)

Agreed, Matt. Now if they just bring back the Celestiales Finos blend, it will be a knock-out!

Geeze that's hot!

I hate it. Instead of giving us fat ring gauge cigars in fancy shapes in a new, old-look-alike humi, they should make laguito N°1 or Dalias, 100 or 200 of them, with somewhat aged leaf, and praise the blend and say how full-flavored these are and that they are only for very experienced smokers. In a simple, nice case. Humble packaging and outstanding cigars, not the other way around.

Give that man a Cigar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claudius, that is the exact sentiment that I have!!!

Experienced cigar smokers value the thin ring gauged cigars! The true lovers of the Habanos Leaf have been degined the perfect blend in a Laguito No.1 or a Dalias for far too long. It takes real skill to properly roll a thin ring gauged Habanos and there is a very real need for them with the true aficionado!!!!

PRESS RELEASE ROMEO Y JULIETA ANCIENT HUMIDOR

* Only 250 cases will be produced for Las Casas del Habano worldwide

* Romeos is the size chosen for this humidor

Habanos s.a. presented a replica of an ancient Romeo y Julieta Humidor during the X edition of the Habanos Festival early this year, of which, only 250 cxases will be produced and will be exclusively aimed to Casas del Habano worldwide.

Now, Romeo y Julieta is bringing back an astonishing size: the Romeos (Girth 52 x 162 mm long) which is a Doble Figurado or Fancy shape, exclusively manufactured for this release and comprising 50 of them in each Humidor. This size was discontinued in the 70´s but brought back for the 125th anniversary of the brand in a Commemorative Humidor in 2000.

These humidors are totally manufactured by hand and made up of cedar and mahogany, by the renowned Cuban goldsmith Ernesto Aguilera who was also the artisan responsible for the Partagás and H. Upmann replicas that were commercialized by Habanos s.a. in 2006 and 2007 respectively. He is the author of some unique masterpieces auctioned at the past editions of the Habanos Festivals as well.

Today Romeo y Julieta is as well known around the world as ever and offers the widest range of totally hand made, long filler sizes available in any Habano brand. Romeo y Julieta’s balanced and aromatic blend of selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region makes it the classic medium bodied Habano.
