Romeo y Julieta Aniversario Maduro Lands at Thompson Cigar
Thompson Cigar will be the home of the latest release from Altadis U.S.A., the Romeo y Julieta Aniversario Maduro.
The new line, which gets its official release on Monday, Sept. 25, is an extension of the Romeo y Julieta Aniversario, though with a fairly different blend. The maduro version uses a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper, Honduran criollo 98 binder, and fillers from Nicaragua, while the original Romeo y Julieta Aniversario featured an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and Connecticut broadleaf binder, with Peruvian, Dominican, and Nicaraguan fillers.
The new line is being offered in three sizes, each in 20-count boxes:
- Romeo y Julieta Aniversario Robusto (5 x 54) — $8.69 (Boxes of 20, $119.95)
- Romeo y Julieta Aniversario Magnum (6 x 60) — $10.13 (Boxes of 20, $124.95)
- Romeo y Julieta Aniversario Churchill (7 x 58) — $10.18 (Boxes of 20, $129.95)
The Romeo y Julieta Aniversario is made at Altadis U.S.A.’s La Flor de Copan Cigar Factory in Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras, and will be a regular production release.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
