Founded in 1875, Romeo y Julieta is one of Cuba’s most iconic cigar brands, named after Shakespeare’s famous lovers. In the cigar workshops, known as galeras, readers would recite literary works aloud to the rollers — and Romeo and Juliet was among the most popular, inspiring the brand’s name. Known for its balanced, medium-bodied flavor with notes of cedar, nuts, and floral sweetness, Romeo y Julieta remains a timeless favorite for both new smokers and seasoned aficionados.
