The Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real line will see two new barber pole extensions – the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Twisted Love Story and the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Twisted Toro. These two line extensions will reach stores in July.
Both the Twisted Love Story and Twisted Toro feature an intertwined Ecuadorian Habano and Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper arranged “barber pole style.” The remainder of the blend features a Nicaraguan binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. The Twisted Love Story is a 46 x 4 1/4 figurado priced at $8.00 per cigar. The Twisted Toro is a 54 x 6 Toro priced at $9.00 per cigar. Both the Twisted Love Story and Twisted Toro are based on existing formats in the Romeo y Julieta Reserva line. Each of the new line extensions will be presented in 25-count boxes.
Production for the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real comes from Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic.

Altadis is making some great moves. This is another one. I’d like to see Altadis create an answer to Generals’s Cohiba Series M with their own limited edition from a small, historic, American factory like El Titan de Bronze.
