Romeo y Julieta Cupidos
A tribute to Verona and Cuban craftsmanship.
Habanos S.A. has unveiled its latest LCDH creation, the Romeo y Julieta Cupidos, in the last quarter of 2023. This special release was originally scheduled for 2022 but has now made its grand entrance into the market, distributed globally through La Casa del Habano (LCDH) and Habanos Specialist stores.
The Cupidos features a unique vitola de galera named Veronas, which measures 148 mm in length with a 55-ring gauge. This name pays homage to the city of Verona in Italy, the setting of Shakespeare’s timeless play, "Romeo and Juliet." The cigars are presented in elegant, glossy boxes containing 20 units, more decorative than the typical Romeo y Julieta dress-box packaging.
Handmade by experienced Cuban torcedores using the traditional "totalmente a mano con Tripa Larga" method, the Romeo y Julieta Cupidos promises consistently high quality. This meticulous process ensures that each cigar delivers the perfect blend of craftsmanship and pleasure. The tobaccos used are from the renowned Vuelta Abajo plantations in Cuba's Pinar del Rio region, celebrated for producing top-quality tobaccos that give the Cupidos its exceptional flavor.
The Romeo y Julieta Cupidos is distinguished by its sumptuous box design and impeccable finish. Each box contains 20 exceptional Habanos, showcasing the brand’s commitment to excellence. The cigar is dressed in a bright colorado wrapper, smooth to the touch with light veining. The construction appears excellent, with the weight of the cigar indicating the use of a generous amount of tobacco.
The Cupidos is an exclusive offering for La Casa del Habano stores and Habanos Specialist retailers. La Casa del Habano stores are independently owned but licensed franchises from Habanos S.A., with around 157 locations worldwide. These stores must meet specific qualifications, including requirements for humidors and lounge features, to gain an LCDH license.
Habanos Specialists, numbering over 1,200 locations globally, are expected to promote the culture and prestige of Cuban cigars. While they are not required to meet the stringent criteria of LCDH franchises, they are recognized for their commitment to Cuban cigars.
Habanos S.A. describes the Cupidos as “medium-strength, aromatic and delicate”. Upon lighting, the cigar reveals a sweet and creamy smoke, starting with a powerful woody note followed by undertones of earth, white pepper, and coffee. The strength is medium.
The Romeo y Julieta Cupidos offers a compelling and enjoyable smoking experience with its creamy palate, sweetness, and well-balanced aromas. The flavor profile is round, with well-defined notes that harmonize beautifully.
For enthusiasts and collectors, the Romeo y Julieta Cupidos is a must-have, blending cultural homage with the finest in cigar craftsmanship.
