The Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real No. 2 cigar takes the approachable character of the Reserva Real line and gives it a slightly richer, more refined presentation through a unique box-pressed belicoso format. Measuring 6⅛″ x 52, the No. 2 was designed to offer a more flavorful interpretation of traditional Romeo y Julieta blends, building on the brand’s long history while introducing a greater influence of Nicaraguan tobacco. Handmade in the Dominican Republic, the cigar balances classic Connecticut smoothness with a touch more body and complexity than many hobbyists expect from the brand.
The blend features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper covering a Nicaraguan binder and a filler combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The addition of more Nicaraguan ligero gives the blend extra structure and depth while the silky Connecticut wrapper keeps the profile balanced and approachable. The box-pressed belicoso shape further concentrates the smoke through the tapered head, helping deliver a more focused flavor experience while maintaining the easygoing nature that defines Reserva Real cigars.
What does the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real No. 2 cigar taste like?
Expect a mild-medium-bodied profile built around cedar, roasted nuts, and cream, supported by layers of leather, cocoa, and soft spice. The Connecticut wrapper keeps the smoke clean and refined, while the Nicaraguan tobacco adds enough richness to create a fuller experience than a traditional mellow Connecticut cigar. As the smoke develops, the profile remains balanced and wood-forward, finishing with touches of sweetness and lingering creaminess.
