Romeo Piramide

The introduction of the Romeo by Romeo y Julieta line marked a significant shift for Altadis U.S.A. Inc. The new series boasts striking packaging and a robust blend that showcases the complexity of Romeo y Julieta cigars from the Dominican Republic. A notable departure from the traditional Romeo profile is the wrapper, which has been upgraded to a dark, oily Ecuadoran Habano-seed leaf. This wrapper envelops a bold Dominican blend, diverging from the milder flavor profile associated with the brand's typical Indonesian-wrapped cigars. The Pirámide, measuring 6 1/8 inches by 52 ring, adheres to a classic Cuban pyramid size, while also fitting into the current trend of larger formats. With each puff, the palate is treated to a rich, layered experience, featuring a robust core of black and red pepper spice, complemented by savory leather notes and sweet hints of raisins and dried fruit. The resulting smoke is remarkably balanced, effortlessly navigating the sweet, salty, and spicy spectrum with both elegance and strength. Produced at the Tabacalera de Garcia factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic, the Romeo by Romeo y Julieta blend combines Dominican Olor and Piloto tobaccos to enhance the already flavorful wrapper. This cigar challenges the notion that a large-scale operation cannot achieve the same level of quality and complexity as smaller, boutique brands, making it a compelling addition to the Romeo y Julieta portfolio.
