Romeo y Julieta Coronitas en Cedro – Box of 25

This classic Cuban petit corona (5.1″ x 42) comes beautifully presented in a protective cedar box, offering a mild-to-medium smoking experience perfect for any time of day. Each 30-45 minute smoke reveals creamy cedar, toasted almonds, and a touch of honeyed sweetness, with floral notes developing in the final third.

The Spanish cedar box isn’t just packaging – it actively enhances the cigars’ flavor profile while maintaining perfect humidity. Recent productions (2020-2023) show excellent construction with consistent draws, though we recommend using a sharp cutter for optimal performance. These Coronitas shine after 3-5 years of aging, developing richer caramel notes while maintaining their signature smoothness.

Ideal for both newcomers and seasoned smokers, they’re particularly suited for:
• Morning coffee pairings (try with a Cuban cortado)
• Casual smoking occasions
• Introducing friends to authentic Cuban flavors

Collectors note that pre-2000 cedar boxes command premium prices, while current stock makes excellent candidates for medium-term aging. The compact size and approachable flavor profile have made this vitola a consistent bestseller for decades.

Storage tip: Maintain at 65-68% RH and rotate cigars periodically for even aging. For a fascinating comparison, try these alongside Montecristo No. 5s to appreciate Romeo y Julieta’s distinctive creamy character.

A true Habanos staple that proves exceptional cigars don’t need to be large or powerful to make an impression.
