About the Romeo y Julieta Petit Piramides Limited Edition 2005
Romeo y Julieta has carried the romance of Havana since 1875, and the Petit Piramides Limited Edition 2005 captures that legacy in a tightly tapered figurado. Released as part of the Habanos Edicion Limitada program, this run used specially selected, extra-aged tobaccos reserved for the brand’s annual limited offerings. Measuring 127mm with a 50 ring gauge, it concentrates the depth of a full-size piramide into a shorter, more approachable format. Long out of production, it has become a genuine collector’s piece for those who chase aged Cuban tobacco.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans on cocoa and toasted cedar, framed by a measured black pepper bite that signals the cigar’s medium to full body. Through the middle, the smoke broadens into rich espresso and dark chocolate, with roasted nut nuances and a touch of leather rounding out the core. The final third concentrates everything the figurado has been building, pushing a deeper spice and a long, satisfying finish that lingers well after the last draw.
Pairings
- Aged Cuban rum, whose dried fruit sweetness echoes the cocoa and espresso notes.
- A robust single malt or bourbon, which stands up to the pepper and leather in the second half.
- An unsweetened dark roast coffee or espresso, mirroring the cigar’s own roasted character.
Aging and storage
Like most Cuban limited editions built on aged leaf, this cigar rewards patience. Keep it stored at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius in a well seasoned humidor. Given its age, additional rest tends to marry the flavors further, softening any remaining edge and deepening the cocoa and espresso core. Check humidity regularly and avoid sudden swings, since older wrappers are more delicate than fresh stock.
Who it is for
This release suits the collector and the seasoned smoker who appreciates vintage Cuban tobacco in a compact shape. The tapered head and 50 ring gauge make it a refined choice for a shorter occasion when you still want full flavor. Newcomers may find the medium to full body and the rarity better appreciated after some time with more readily available Romeo y Julieta vitolas.

Excellent petit corona from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Petit Piramides Limited Edition 2005 has a refined flavor profile – lots of cream and vanilla. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 82 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Romeo y Julieta Romeo y Julieta Petit Piramides Limited Edition 2005 delivered on flavor (wood and spice) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.

Decent petit corona but not my favorite from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Petit Piramides Limited Edition 2005 has good flavor – honey and nuts – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
