Romeo y Julieta Romeo No. 2 Tubos – Box of 25
340.00 $
The Romeo y Julieta Romeo No. 2 Tubos is the more robust sibling of the No. 1, offering a richer, more flavorful experience while maintaining the brand’s signature elegance. This petit robusto (129mm x 50 / 5.1″ x 19.8mm) delivers a satisfying 45-60 minute smoke, striking the perfect balance between depth and approachability. Packaged in protective aluminum tubes, it’s an ideal choice for both travel and everyday enjoyment.
