Description
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua is another collaboration between Master Blender AJ Fernandez and this legendary cigar maker. To begin with, the Romeo y Julieta marque starts off around 1875 in Cuba. After the Revolution and ownership changes, the brand was moved to La Romana in the Dominican Republic. So as to production today for the American market, it continues under the direction of Altadis. Romeo y Julieta remains one of world’s top sellers. As time passes more new smokers continue falling in love with these great cigars.
For starters, Reserva Real Nicaragua is a follow-up to the company’s extremely popular Reserva Real line. With attention to detail, it contains 100% Nicaragua tobacco leaves that grow exclusively on the Fernandez farms. It’s no surprise this edition gets high fives and tons of accolades.
Noted reviewer Katman rates it a 91. He aptly describes this cigar as a medium to full bodied flavor bomb. Think bread, butter, creaminess, espresso, cedar, berries, citrus, baker’s chocolate, malt, licorice, nuts galore and Gruyère cheese. How’s that for complexity. With this in mind, Cigar Aficionado gives it an astounding 93 and naming it a top 25 cigar of the year.
To sum up, Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua is available in 5 popular sizes of 20 and 25 count boxes. Without a doubt, if you’re a fan of AJ Fernandez and Romeo y Julieta, this one is a must try and should be in your humidor today!

If you’re a fan of the Romeo Julieta Reserva Real lineup, the only similarity this Nicaraguan edition has is the name. When R/J’s owner Altadis wanted to add some zing to this mild to mellow line they got with Master Blender A.J. Fernandez to accomplish the mission. And did he ever! Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua is produced with all Nicaraguan tobacco from AJ’s farm. When this medium to full bodied edition hit the streets in the late Summer of 2020, many of us knew it would be better than good. Garnering a 92 rating and being placed in the top 25 proved we were right. As strong as this cigar is compared to the others, it’s never overpowering. Flawlessly made with an ample draw, your palate will be engulfed with robust and spicy aromatic smoke from beginning to end. You’ll get some honey like sweetness and notes of hardwoods, sun dried raisins and peppercorns along with way as well. As you proceed, get ready for everything to increase in strength and intensity. Make no mistake, this is a super premium cigar for seasoned smokers.
