About the Romeo y Julieta Cedro De Luxe No. 2
Romeo y Julieta has carried the name of Shakespeare’s lovers since 1875, and few lines inside the brand are as instantly recognizable as the Cedros de Luxe family. The No. 2 arrives dressed in its signature thin cedar sleeve, with the famous band fixed to the wood rather than the cigar itself, a presentation flourish that has become part of the marca’s identity. Rolled in Cuba as a long filler, totally handmade Habano from Vuelta Abajo tobacco, this Corona honors the gentle, accessible style that made Romeo y Julieta a fixture in humidors around the world. It is a cigar that whispers heritage rather than shouts it.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans on cedar and toasted bread, lifted by a soft note of spice and a faint sweetness drawn from that cedar wrap. Through the middle the smoke settles into walnut and gentle cocoa, with a creamy texture that keeps everything rounded and easy on the palate. As the cigar reaches its final stretch, a touch of black pepper and earth steps forward, the body inching from mild toward a comfortable medium without ever turning heavy or harsh.
Pairings
- A lightly aged Cuban rum, where the cane sweetness mirrors the cigar’s cedar and cocoa.
- An espresso or a cup of black coffee to echo the toasted, nutty core.
- A glass of dry Champagne or a crisp white wine when you want a brighter, palate-cleansing contrast.
Aging and storage
Keep these in a well seasoned humidor held between 65 and 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius. The cedar sleeve helps marry the flavors over time, and a year or two of patient rest tends to soften the early spice while coaxing out deeper notes of cocoa and dried fruit. Even smoked young the No. 2 is approachable, so there is no penalty for enjoying a few while the rest of the box matures.
Who it is for
This is a natural choice for the smoker who values balance and refinement over sheer power. Newcomers will appreciate how forgiving and smooth it is, while seasoned aficionados return to it as a reliable daytime Corona that pairs with morning coffee as comfortably as with an evening drink. If you want a classic Cuban experience that respects your palate and your schedule, the Cedro De Luxe No. 2 fits the bill.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the band on the cedar sleeve instead of the cigar?
It is a traditional feature of the Cedros de Luxe line. The cigar slides inside a thin cedar wrapper and the Romeo y Julieta band is placed over that sleeve, protecting the cigar and adding the woody aromatics the line is known for.
How strong is the Cedro De Luxe No. 2?
It sits in the mild to medium range. The first third is gentle and the body rises only slightly toward a soft medium as you near the band, making it easy to enjoy at any time of day.
How long does it take to smoke?
As a 5.6 inch Corona with a 42 ring gauge, it offers a relaxed smoke of roughly 45 minutes to an hour at an unhurried pace.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Cedro De Luxe No. 2 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.
