Press Release: Romeo y Julieta Edición Limitada 2013 Romeo de Luxe

October 2, 2013 — The Ediciones Limitadas -Limited Editions- of Habanos* (D.O.P) are highly appreciated and awaited every year by enthusiasts worldwide. They are characterized by vitolas -sizes- that do not appear in the usual range of the brand portfolio, and they are distinguished by a careful selection of their leaves -wrapper, filler and binder- which have been aged for a period of at least 2 years. The wrapper dressing these Habanos comes from the top leaves of the Tapado –shade grown- black Cuban tobacco plant, and is relevant characteristic that identifies these special productions. This wrapper is usually darker than the wrappers of regular range sizes of the brand.

The Ediciones Limitadas are made with the finest tobacco leaves coming from Vuelta Abajo* (D.O.P), Cuba.

Since its birth in 1875, Romeo y Julieta has become one of the best known brands of Habanos. Its roots lie in the literary tragedy of the same name by the British playwright William Shakespeare. Romeo y Julieta enjoys great international prestige and presents one of Habanos’ widest range of sizes. Romeo’s balanced and aromatic blend is appreciated by a large number of enthusiasts.

“Romeo de Luxe” is a vitola specially selected for this Edición Limitada -limited edition- , 2013. These 10 Habanos are produced “Totalmente a Mano” -Totally handmade- after an exquisite selection of wrapper, filler and binder leaves coming from the Vuelta Abajo* (D.O.P) plantations and aged at least 2 years.
