About the Romeo y Julieta Exhibición No 2 Edición Limitada 2000
The Romeo y Julieta Exhibición No 2 Edición Limitada 2000 belongs to one of the very first waves of Habanos limited editions, a series launched in 2000 that quickly became a magnet for collectors. Romeo y Julieta has built its reputation on elegance and balance since the brand’s founding in 1875, and this Double Corona carries that legacy in a generous 7.6″ x 49 format. Released in a dress box of 25, it was rolled with specially aged tobaccos, the hallmark that defined those early Edición Limitada projects. As a discontinued release, it now reads as a piece of modern Cuban cigar history rather than a shop-shelf regular.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third tends to be soft and refined, leaning on cream and a gentle vanilla sweetness with a light cedar backbone. Through the middle the cigar settles into its stride, where toasted nuts and mild wood notes gain a little more presence and a faint cocoa edge appears. The final third holds its composure rather than turning aggressive, keeping that creamy, balanced character to the end with a touch of earthiness. Across all three stages the smoke stays smooth and easygoing, which is exactly what you would expect from a mild to medium Romeo y Julieta.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban or Caribbean rum, whose caramel sweetness echoes the cigar’s cream and vanilla.
- A cup of espresso or lightly sweetened cortado to lift the nutty, toasted notes.
- A lighter single malt or a glass of tawny port for a relaxed after-dinner moment.
Aging and storage
Because this is a limited edition from 2000 built on already-aged leaf, time has been kind to it, and well-kept boxes have rounded out beautifully over the years. Keep it in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady temperature near 18 degrees Celsius, or roughly 65 Fahrenheit. Older stock can be a touch delicate, so handle the cigar gently and let it acclimate for a few days after it arrives before you light up. Stored properly, the creamy profile stays intact and continues to mellow with patience.
Who it is for
This cigar suits the collector or seasoned enthusiast who appreciates aged Cuban tobacco and the history behind the early Edición Limitada releases. The mild to medium strength also makes it approachable for smokers who prefer a smooth, balanced experience over a powerful one. If you enjoy long, unhurried Double Coronas and value provenance as much as flavor, this one rewards a slow afternoon. It is less about intensity and more about poise and pedigree.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Romeo y Julieta Romeo y Julieta Exhibición No 2 Edicion Limitada 2000 delivered on flavor (wood and spice) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
