At this week’s TPE 2022, Altadis U.S.A. will be showing off the Romeo y Julieta Bed of Roses Humidor, which is not only a new way to store your cigars but also comes with some new cigars as well.
Those cigars are Nicaraguan puros that use tobacco from the Plasencia farms, with the wrapper a habano-seed varietal, giving the cigar a medium-body according to a press release. They are offered in a 7 1/2 x 50 Churchill vitola, and each humidor contains 24 of them. The Romeo y Julieta Bed of Roses is produced at the Plasencia factory in Nicaragua.
As for the humidors, they measure 20 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Production is limited to just 100 units.
The humidors are scheduled to begin shipping to retailers in March and will have an MSRP of $2,000.

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.
