Next week, a new version of the Romeo y Julieta Club Kings will finally make its appearance on a store’s shelf.

In late 2017, Habanos S.A. announced the Habanos Línea Retro, consisting of the Partagás Capitols and Romeo y Julieta Club Kings. Both cigars are offered in the classic Marevas corona format, a 5 1/12 (129mm) x 42. The Club Kings was discontinued in the 1980s.

This will actually be the third different Romeo y Julieta release offered in this size, joining the Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas and the Cedros de Luxe No.3.

Intertabak AG, the Swiss distributor of Cuban cigars, says the Club Kings will arrive at La Casa del Habano franchises on Feb. 19 and Habanos Specialist locations on Feb. 26.

Pricing is set at 62.50 CHF ($64.20) per pack of five.
