Romeo y Julieta No. 2 (Tubo)

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Romeo y Julieta No. 2 (Tubo) opens with a smooth medium body, delivering a refined balance of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and creamy coffee over a base of leather and gentle earthiness. The retrohale adds soft white pepper, baking spice, and a hint of dried fruit, bringing both warmth and subtle sweetness to the profile. By the second third, the flavors expand into honeyed brioche, roasted cashew, and light caramel, while the pepper mellows into a delicate background accent. A faint floral sweetness emerges, harmonizing with the cedar and cream mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar develops richer notes of milk chocolate, toasted oak, mild espresso, and a touch of clove, finishing smooth, clean, and slightly sweet with a lingering nutty tone.

Construction and Draw
The petit corona vitola is impeccably rolled with a silky Cuban wrapper over Cuban binder and filler, featuring tight seams, a precise triple cap, and a firm, even pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, hay, and a touch of sweet cream. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal—slight resistance producing dense, aromatic smoke with a velvety texture. The burn line remains sharp with minimal waviness, and the ash forms firm, light-gray stacks that hold well past the inch mark. Combustion stays steady and cool, rewarding slow, deliberate puffs.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Havana Club Añejo 7 Años or Glenmorangie 10 Year Original; both complement the cigar’s cream, cedar, and subtle sweetness while enhancing its smooth finish.
