About Romeo y Julieta 1875

The Romeo y Julieta 1875 blend

The Romeo y Julieta sold in the United States is not Cuban. The brand began in Havana in 1875, founded by Inocencio Alvarez and Manin García and named for the Spanish title of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; Cuba still makes its own version, which cannot legally be sold here. Our guide to why Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States explains the embargo.

1875, Reserva Real or Midnight Twist?

Romeo y Julieta's U.S. lines differ mostly in the wrapper, and the wrapper sets the tone.

• 1875: an Indonesian TBN wrapper over a Dominican binder and filler. Smooth and medium-bodied, in Altadis's words.
• Reserva Real: a blonde Connecticut-seed shade wrapper grown in Ecuador, over a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. Altadis calls it slightly mellow and woodsy.
• Reserva Real Nicaragua Midnight Twist: all Nicaraguan, with two wrapper leaves twisted together. Medium to full, with cedar, spice and cashew, per Altadis.
• Reserve: a separate line made in Honduras at La Flor de Copán, full-bodied; our Reserve Toro is 6 x 56.

Altadis also makes an 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua, a separate Nicaraguan blend that we don't list online. Every Romeo y Julieta we carry is on Romeo y Julieta Cigars, and our Romeo y Julieta guide compares the lines in more depth.

What to pour with an 1875

Our cigar and whiskey pairing guide keeps a simple house rule: mild with mild, medium with medium, full with full. With a medium cigar like the 1875, it suggests a whiskey in the 80s or low 90s proof, so neither the cigar nor the pour covers the other. In the lounge, ask the bar for a pour from the spirits menu.

Keeping 1875 cigars fresh

Store them at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity, in a humidor or a sealed bag with a two-way humidity pack. Leave the Cedro Deluxe in its cedar sleeve until you smoke it. Every order ships with a Boveda humidity pack, and our cigar storage guide covers the rest.
