About this cigar
Romeo y Julieta No. 1 Tubos — tasting notes and pricing context
The Romeo y Julieta No. 1 in its iconic aluminum tubo presentation is one of the most-recognised cigars in the Cuban catalogue. At 6.5 inches by a 42 ring (Habanos calls the shape Cervantes, the Cuban term for the Lonsdale format), the No. 1 was the Romeo benchmark for most of the 20th century — produced continuously since 1903, with the aluminum tubo packaging added in the 1960s to extend the cigar's freshness during long European voyages.
The smoke is the most floral in the Romeo catalogue. First third opens with butter, hay and Romeo's signature orange-blossom floral note; the middle drifts into cedar, honey and a touch of toasted bread; the last third delivers a creamy, slightly sweet finish with espresso and a whisper of dried fruit. Smoking time runs 70 to 85 minutes. Across Europe a box of 25 tubed cigars sits in the €465 to €580 range: Noblego runs around €485, Cigarworld €500, Cigarmust CHF 540 (~€565 after FX), Italian licensed tabaccherie €495. The €100 absolute spread is meaningful and the No. 1 Tubos is the SKU most often gifted at the holiday season — restocks happen in cycles, which makes price-drop alerts genuinely useful here.
