Romeo Y Julieta Romeo No.3 Cigar

Romeo Y Julieta Romeo No.3 presents medium-strength Cuban complexity with floral, nutty, herbal, and woody notes improving beautifully after three years aging.

Romeo y Julieta stands as one of the most iconic and beloved cigar brands in the world, founded in Havana and named after Shakespeare's legendary tragedy. The brand gained international prominence under José "Pepin" Rodriguez Fernandez, who transformed it into a symbol of luxury and sophistication for the global elite. Famous for creating the Churchill vitola format in honor of Sir Winston Churchill's 1946 visit, Romeo y Julieta cigars are celebrated for their medium-bodied profiles with complex flavours of cedar, nuts, coffee, and spice. With a heritage spanning nearly 150 years, the brand continues to represent the pinnacle of Cuban cigar craftsmanship and romantic elegance.
