Tasting Note

Like the Cuban Montecristo Línea 1935 or the Cohiba Behike before that, the Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro is meant to be a super-premium, Gran Cru version of an already premium brand. In this case, the tobaccos in the Línea de Oro are stronger than those found in the core Romeo y Julieta line. The sizes are new, and the prices certainly reflect the super-premium category. To emphasize the brand’s exclusivity, the boxes are quite opulent, made of glossy red sycamore with an embossed medallion. This line comes in only three sizes but the star was Nobles, a fat belicoso full of dried fruit flavor that gradually intensifies to a strong, oaky and leathery finish.
