Description
Romeo y Julieta Romeo San Andres is another collaboration between Altadis’ Rafael Nodal and Master Blender AJ Fernandez in 2018. 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.
Reaching out to A. J. Fernandez to create a Cuban style, medium to full flavored edition for the RJ collection results in a very unique cigar for this iconic company. With attention to detail, Fernandez and Nodal put together a complex blend for seasoned smokers. With this in mind, Cigar Coop rates it a respectable 90 along with Blind Man’s Puff’s score of 91. Cigar Aficionado’s description in spot on. “A near-black cigar topped with a round head. The earthy, nutty smoke shows additional notes of coffee and anise before a strong finish of dark roasted coffee.”
Needless to say, If you’re a fan of Romeo y Julieta, Nodal and Fernandez, this one is a must try!
To sum up, Romeo y Julieta Romeo San Andres is available in two popular sizes of 20 count boxes.

We all know this iconic brand. There are literally dozens of Romeo y Juliet brand styles available for all of us to enjoy today. When Altadis reached out to Master Blender A. J. Fernandez in 2018 to create a Cuban style, full flavored edition for the RJ collection, he didn’t disappoint!
Combining traditional Dominican leaves that the brand is known for with A.J.’s personally selected Nicaraguan long fillers, then encassing it with a vintage Mexican San Andreas wrapper. The result is not your Father’s Romeo! This is a robust, strong cigar that gains intensity along the way. Buckle up!
