About the Linea De Oro Range

Romeo y Julieta, one of the oldest and most recognisable cigar brands in the world, has introduced a new line, called Línea de Oro. Originally announced in 2020 to commemorate 145 years of the iconic brand, the new line is presented in three sizes  Dianas (53⁄8” (145mm) x 52), Hidalgos (5” (125mm) x 57) and Nobles (51⁄3” (135mm) x 56) All three sizes have been blended to a medium to full taste, a step up from the famous medium bodied blend used in the classic range. The cigars are presented in stylish red lacquered boxes that carry an embossed medallion set on the lid.

 Each of the 20 cigars within are dressed with a bespoke band bearing the name of the individual vitola and a unique golden foot band that have edges trimmed with holographic elements, similar to those found on Cohiba Vitolas.

Do not overly concern yourself if the Mille Fleur looks familiar, it shares its dimensions and blend with the ever-popular Petit Corona within the same brand.

As Juliet herself may have said, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”.
Measuring 5 1/8” (129mm) x 42 ring gauge, the Mille Fleur has been produced in Cuba for over half a century. However, up until 2002 it was a machine-made cigar and not imported into the UK. Now they are all made entirely by hand using long-filler tobacco leaves, Tripa Larga – Totalmente a mano.

The French name translates into English as ‘thousand flowers’ and, as you would expect with such a name, it is a cigar with a generous floral bouquet. Serendipitously, it has arrived in the UK at the start of springtime.

Romeo y Julieta is one of the most loved and respected Habanos brands with its elegant, medium-bodied aromas blended from some of the finest tobaccos grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

Read a review by Greg Horvath

Romeo Y Julieta Robustos LE 2001 is an antecedent to the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill. An interesting footnote in the emergence of the Churchill linea.

Romeo Y Julieta Capuleto LE 2016 is a medium to full bodied cigar with rich and elegant flavours made with specially selected tobacco leaves from Vuelta Abajo.

Romeo Y Julieta Churchills Reserva 2013, is a classic churchill
harvested in 2008 and part of only 5,000 boxes. Beautifully
constructed with beautiful flavours.

Romeo y Julieta Club Kings

They are the first of two, much delayed, products to be released under the new ‘Linea Retro’ range, with a Partagas Capitols slated for a later release.

The retro metal tin has a flip-top lid, activated by pressing the logo on the front, and has been inspired by pocket cigar cases that were much in vogue in the 1970s. The original cases are now much sought after by collectors around the world and can fetch high prices when presented at auction.

The Club Kings are a classic mareva size ( 5⅛” (129mm) x 42) and so will be familiar to fans of the R&J No.2 Tubos, the Cedros de Luxe No.3 or the classic Petit Corona. All of which share the same dimensions.

This new cigar has been rolled to Romeo y Julieta’s classic medium bodied blend and provides a stylish and immanently portable alternative.

It has also been made “Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga”- Totally Handmade with Long Filler – after a careful selection of filler, binder and wrapper leaves from the best tobacco-growing plantation in the Vuelta Abajo area in Pinar del Río, Cuba.

The Romeo y Julieta Duke Cigar is an outstanding Romeo y Julieta Cigar with a peculiar debut onto the international cigar scene. Initially overlooked by cigar aficionados, it now enjoys a reputation almost unparalleled among its peers. As a matter of fact, even the late Simon Chase famously described it as one of his favourite Limited Edition Cigars

An excellent heavy ring gauge cigar and medium to full strength, this Cuban Cigar was the first 54 ring gauge, released by Habanos, to have such a short dimension. It sports, in fact, a generous 54 ring by 140mm in length. A first ever Vitola of this size.

Bernard Hine and Nicholas Freeman, the late Chairman of UK Havana Cigar Importers Hunters & Frankau, combined their lifetime knowledge and passion for fine Cognac and the very best cigars to produce this rich and distinctive cognac.
