Romeo y Julieta No. 2 Tubed Cuban Cigar

Discover the timeless elegance of the Romeo y Julieta No 2, one of the most iconic and consistently popular Cuban cigars in the world. This single Romeo y Julieta No. 2 tubed cigar is a true classic that has earned its reputation over more than a century as a reliable, refined and deeply satisfying smoke. Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or someone just beginning your journey into premium cigars, the Romeo y Julieta No 2 delivers an experience that few other cigars can match.

Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, the Romeo y Julieta brand was officially registered in Havana in 1875. Under the visionary leadership of Don “Pepín” Rodríguez in the early 20th century, the marque rose to international fame. Rodríguez was one of the first to understand the power of the cigar band, and at the height of his influence more than 20,000 different bands were used across the range.

The brand’s prestige was further elevated when Sir Winston Churchill became a devoted admirer after his visit to Havana in 1946. His name is forever linked to some of the marque’s most celebrated vitolas, but it is the humble yet perfect Romeo y Julieta No 2 that remains one of the best-selling and most loved sizes in the entire portfolio.

The Romeo y Julieta No. 2 is a classic Petit Corona (also known as Mareva) measuring 5⅛ inches (129 mm) in length with a 42 ring gauge. It is a round cigar, as opposed to the box-pressed Petit Corona, and comes presented in an elegant cedar-lined aluminium tube. This packaging is far more than decorative. The cedar lining helps to maintain the ideal humidity and protect the cigar, allowing it to stay fresh for many months without the need for a full humidor. This makes the single Romeo y Julieta No 2 tubed format exceptionally convenient for everyday enjoyment, travel, or as a thoughtful gift.

Each Cuban cigar is hand-rolled using the traditional “tripa larga, totalmente a mano” method — long filler, totally handmade. Only the finest tobacco leaves from the legendary Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba are selected for the filler, binder and wrapper. This careful selection produces a medium-strength smoke that is approachable yet complex, with a smoking time of approximately 25 to 40 minutes depending on your pace.

The flavour profile of the Romeo y Julieta No 2 is a masterclass in balance and refinement. From the first light you will notice elegant notes of cedar and leather, followed by subtle coffee, toasted nuts and a gentle earthiness. As the cigar develops, floral and herbal undertones emerge, sometimes accompanied by hints of light fruit and a soft sweetness that never becomes cloying. The finish remains cool and clean, with a pleasant lingering aroma that is characteristic of the finest Cuban cigars. Many smokers describe it as silky and honeyed, with a creamy texture that makes every draw a pleasure.

This is why the Romeo y Julieta No. 2 has long been regarded as the perfect everyday smoke. It is substantial enough to satisfy experienced enthusiasts yet mild enough to serve as an excellent introduction for those new to premium cigars. Its moderate size and strength make it ideal for a mid-afternoon break, an after-dinner treat, or a relaxed evening on the patio. Because it arrives in a protective cedar-lined tube, you can keep one ready in your desk, car, or travel bag without worrying about condition.

To get the best from your Romeo y Julieta No 2, we recommend cutting or punching the head before lighting. Use a quality lighter or wooden matches and take your time.
