Romeo Y Julieta Belicosos

The Romeo Y Julieta Belicosos is a timeless Cuban cigar from Habanos S.A., renowned for its iconic pyramid shape (Belicosos vitola) with a length of 140mm and a 52-ring gauge. Handcrafted with Colorado wrapper leaves from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, it delivers a medium-bodied profile celebrated for its balance and aging potential.

Upon lighting, the initial notes of leather and cedar transition into creamy dark chocolate and roasted nuts, culminating in a subtly sweet finish with floral and herbal undertones. The oily, smooth wrapper enhances its complexity over time, making it a favorite among connoisseurs for maturation. Packaged in classic paper-coated wooden boxes of 25 cigars (historically including aluminum tubes or cellophane sleeves), it embodies traditional Cuban craftsmanship. Often compared to the Montecristo No.2, this cigar is ideal for morning enjoyment, paired perfectly with coffee, earning its nickname as a “breakfast cigar”. A staple since its pre-1960s debut, it remains a symbol of Romeo y Julieta’s heritage in the premium cigar world.
