Founded in Havana in 1875 and named for Shakespeare’s lovers, Romeo y Julieta became one of the most recognised names in tobacco. The modern house runs on two tracks — smooth, shade-grown Dominican classics on one side, and the all-Nicaraguan 1875 and Reserva Real blends built with the Grupo de Maestros on the other.
6 × 50 · Toro
Co-blended by the Grupo de Maestros of Altadis U.S.A. and rolled at the Plasencia factory in Estelí — the old name re-imagined as an all-Nicaraguan puro, carrying zesty white pepper, roasted wood and rich earth.
6 × 52 · Toro
A collaboration between AJ Fernandez, the Grupo de Maestros and Altadis U.S.A., rolled at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Estelí — Nicaraguan earth and spice woven into the line’s smooth wood profile.
7 × 46 · Churchill
Sealed in a protective glass tube to hold its condition — a shade-grown Indonesian wrapper over Dominican and Brazilian leaf, smooth through cedar, almond and sweet hay.
6½ × 43 · Lonsdale
The traditional Dominican standard of the house — a balanced, wrapper-forward lonsdale rich with light earth, wood and soft baking spice.
6 × 58 · Gordo
A wide, easy-drawing gordo at the accessible end of the house — clean light cedar, toasted nuts and a mild, sweet aroma.
6 × 50 · Parejo
The Dominican-made Romeo y Julieta 1875: an Indonesian shade-grown TBN wrapper over Dominican binder and long filler that burns to a white ash. Smooth and mellow, with toast, wood, leather, walnut and a light sweetness.
Mini
Romeo y Julieta 1875 minis: small machine-made cigars about 2⅞ inches long with a 20 ring, packed 20 to a fresh-pack tin and made in the Dominican Republic. The range comes in more than one expression, told apart by the color of the tin.
