Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Verona’s Court

Reserva Real is the richer chapter of the Romeo story. Handmade at Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic, it wears a blonde Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a long-filler mix of Dominican leaf spiked with Nicaraguan ligero. Medium-bodied and creamy, layered with toasted cedar, butter, nuts and a measured spice that keeps it from ever turning sleepy. A 91-rated everyday cigar that smokes far above its price.

A 5½” x 44 corona, boxed in twenties.
