A NAME WRITTEN IN 1875
ROMEO Y JULIETA
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.
1875 Nicaragua
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.
Reserva Real Nicaragua
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.
Clemenceau en Tube
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.
Deluxe No. 2
6½ × 43 · Lonsdale
The traditional Dominican standard of the house — a balanced, wrapper-forward lonsdale rich with light earth, wood and soft baking spice.
Romeo’s Court
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.
