History

Romeo y Julieta, originally famous for its premium Cuban cigars, expanded production to include cigarettes in 1999. Manufactured by Habanos S.A. and BrasCuba, the brand is owned by Altadis, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco. What makes these cigarettes distinctive is that they are made from the same high-quality dark tobacco as Romeo y Julieta cigars, giving them a very rich and strong flavor, similar to other robust brands like Gauloises. Romeo y Julieta cigarettes are mainly sold in Cuba, but are or were sold in Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico Moldova and Russia. Made of the same tobacco as their older cigar namesakes, Romeo y Julieta cigarettes are notable for their very strong flavour. They are made of dark tobacco, like gauloises.
