Anyone seeking a special moment with authentic Romeo y Julieta character will find it in the Romeo y Julieta Capuletos EL 2016 – powerful, yet wonderfully balanced.

Romeo y Julieta Edición Limitada Capuletos EL 2016 – Origin & Format

Hand -rolled in Cuba – a long filler made from selected Vuelta Abajo tobaccos. The vitola de galera is ‘Sobresalientes’, measuring 153 mm with a ring gauge of 53 (Ø ≈ 21.0 mm) – a generous size offering a rich mouthfeel and outstanding aromatic intensity. The Capuletos were launched in 2016 as one of three Habanos Limited Editions and are available in boxes of 25. The Edición Limitada leaves (wrapper, binder and filler) have been specially aged; typically, the wrapper appears slightly darker than on the regular ranges.

Character & Flavours

When smoked, the Romeo y Julieta Edición Limitada Capuletos EL 2016 displays a medium to medium-full-bodied profile with a creamy, silky texture. Leading notes of cedarwood and cocoa/chocolate blend with refined spices, nutty tones and a subtle sweetness; depending on the individual cigar, floral accents, aniseed or a hint of berry fruit may shine through. The finish is long, rounded and clean – a harmonious blend of elegance and substance, just as one would expect from Romeo y Julieta.

Presentation & Smoking Experience

The Capuletos feature the brand band alongside the black Edición Limitada secondary band and, thanks to careful rolling, offer a reliable draw and a smooth, even burn. In practice, the smoking time is around 60–80 minutes, depending on the pace of the draw. Pairing tip: Espresso or cappuccino bring out the cocoa and nutty notes; in the evening, barrel-aged rums or mild single malts harmonise superbly with the sweet, spicy signature flavour. Collectors also appreciate the timeless 25-count presentation – ideal as a gift or for the humidor.
