Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleur Cigar – Box of 25

The Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs Cigar is crafted in the Petit Corona format, measuring 5 ⅛ inches (129mm) with a 42-ring gauge. It uses Vuelta Abajo tobacco from Cuba’s Pinar del Río region, known for its balanced combustion properties. The blend combines aged ligero and seco leaves, wrapped in a semi-textured Colorado claro leaf with visible veins. The draw produces medium smoke volume with a burn time of approximately 45 minutes.

Initial flavors present dry cedar and roasted almond, transitioning to baked earth and white pepper by the second third. The final phase introduces bitter cocoa and espresso notes, accompanied by a subtle floral sweetness reminiscent of dried rose petals. A faint saline quality emerges in the retrohale, balancing the cigar’s 6/10 strength level.

The double-seam cap construction ensures consistent airflow, while the moderately packed filler maintains an even burn line. Oily resin deposits form near the cigar’s midpoint, indicating well-fermented tobacco. Box-pressed examples develop a rectangular ash structure that holds for 1-1.5 inches before fracturing.

Optimal performance occurs at 65-68% humidity levels, with younger boxes (1-3 years) showing brighter spice characteristics and aged stock (5+ years) developing leather and molasses nuances. The Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs serves as an accessible introduction to Cuban tobacco profiles while offering aging potential for collectors.
