About the Romeo y Julieta Romeo No.2 (Tubos)
Romeo y Julieta has been one of Havana’s most celebrated marcas since the brand was established in 1875, and the Romeo No.2 captures everything that made it a favourite of seasoned aficionados and newcomers alike. Each cigar arrives sealed inside a slim aluminium tube, a presentation that shields the wrapper from light and keeps the smoke fresh until the moment you slide it free. Rolled from Vuelta Abajo tobacco grown in Cuba’s Pinar del Rio region, this Petit Corona pairs classic Cuban character with a format built for convenience.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third is gentle and inviting, leading with sweet cedar and a light toasted nuttiness that sits comfortably on the palate. As the burn settles into the middle, the body fills out and a soft cocoa note appears alongside touches of leather and dark earth. The final third holds its composure, never turning sharp, finishing with a subtle sweetness and a lingering woody warmth that explains why so many smokers reach for this cigar again.
Pairings
- A lightly aged Cuban rum, whose cane sweetness mirrors the cocoa and cedar notes
- A cup of freshly brewed espresso for a morning or after-lunch smoke
- A glass of tawny port, letting its dried-fruit character lift the toasted tobacco
Aging and storage
Kept at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity in a seasoned humidor, the Romeo No.2 rewards patience. The tube offers a degree of protection, yet for long-term keeping it is best to remove the cigars and rest them on cedar so they breathe and mellow evenly. Over a year or two the cedar grows rounder and the sweetness deepens, though this is a cigar that smokes beautifully young, so there is no need to wait if you are eager to enjoy it.
Who it is for
This is a wonderful choice for anyone exploring Cuban cigars for the first time, since the mild to medium strength stays smooth and forgiving from light to finish. It equally suits the experienced smoker who wants a dependable short smoke that travels well, slips into a jacket pocket, and delivers genuine Habanos flavour without demanding an hour of your afternoon.
Frequently asked questions

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Romeo No.2 (Tubos) has good flavor – citrus and pepper – 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.
