Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales Cigar

Romeo and Julieta was first performed as a Havana in 1875 and was named after the tragic lovers in William Shakespeare's plays. Under the leadership of Don "Pepin" Rodriguez, a gifted promoter who was one of the first to understand the cigar band's potency, the brand achieved worldwide renown in the early 1900s. In his prime, at least 20,000 distinct bands were employed in the cigar-making process. The factory name for cigars this shape is "Caprichos", from the Spanish word meaning "whims". It is produced to the classic medium-bodied R&J blend and is a whim that can happily be indulged even when time is short. Stubby with a flat head, this cigar burns a bit hot, but delivers notes of spicy leather, nuts and maple sugar, though undercurrents of charred wood are persistent.
