Romeo y Julieta Capuletos Edicion Limitada 2016

Romeo y Julieta Capuletos Edición Limitada 2016 – A Thick Sobresalientes, Aged Since Release

The Romeo y Julieta Capuletos Edición Limitada 2016 gave the marca one of its boldest limited formats. Rolled in the Sobresalientes vitola at 153 mm (6″) with a 53 ring gauge, it was launched in September 2016 and, like every Edición Limitada, built from tobaccos aged a minimum of two years before rolling to darken the wrapper and deepen the flavour.

Named for the house of Capulet in the marca’s Shakespearean story, this release paired the classic Romeo y Julieta aromatics with a fuller, richer body than the regular range. Boxes still in circulation carry years of natural ageing on top of the mandatory cure, softening and rounding the profile the cigar showed at launch. It is presented in a box of 25.
