Romeo y Julieta 150th Anniversary Balconet / 6 x 54

Original price was: $467.20.Current price is: $400.99.

To celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the prestigious Romeo Y Julieta brand, Altadis U.S.A. assembled what it called a “Hall of Fame” blend. This special blend could refer to the combination of Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, San Andres Mexican binder and three-country filler blend from Honduras, Peru and the Dominican Republic. But it could also be referring to the list of masterminds that have signed on to work on the project. The iconic A.J. Fernandez personally cured and harvested the wrapper from his Nicaraguan farmland while the Plasencia family—a go-to tobacco source for some of the highest-rated cigars ever—was called upon for filler tobacco. The resulting flavor profile features cedar, spice and a hint of fruit accompanied by a bit of chocolate, coffee and a subtle sweetness, yields a complex medium-bodied smoke befitting of this incredible milestone.

Experience the Romeo y Julieta 150th Anniversary Balconet

Our staff has found the Romeo y Julieta 150th Anniversary Balconet to be one of the most graceful and consistently excellent limited-edition cigars in the Romeo y Julieta portfolio. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper brings delicate sweetness and finesse on the cold draw, backed by a Dominican binder and a masterful blend of aged Dominican long-fillers. When smoked, the first third opens gently with sweet cedar, toasted almonds, creamy vanilla, and light cream, creating a medium-bodied introduction with rich smoke volume and refined texture. By the second third, the profile transitions seamlessly, deepening the creaminess while revealing light cocoa, subtle white pepper, sweet hay, and a touch of leather while the burn remains cool and even. In the final third, it finishes clean and elegant with lingering nutty sweetness, cedar, and a whisper of cocoa, burning steadily to a solid nub with impeccable ash hold and no harshness. A fitting tribute to 150 years of Romeo y Julieta excellence in a generous, luxurious toro format.
