Every Romeo y Julieta Coronas is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Few brands carry the romance of their name as gracefully as Romeo y Julieta, founded in Havana in 1875 and named for Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers. The Coronas sits in the classic Corona vitola, a 142mm (5 5/8 inch) cigar with a 42 ring gauge, hand rolled in Cuba from sun-grown Vuelta Abajo leaf. It is a format that has defined Cuban smoking for over a century, and Romeo y Julieta wears it with the smooth, accessible house character the marca built its reputation on.
The opening third leans on cedar and a gentle toasted note, with a creamy texture that settles the palate quickly. As the cigar reaches its midpoint, nuttiness comes forward alongside a soft cocoa sweetness and a quiet thread of baking spice. The final third gathers everything together, the leather and coffee tones deepening slightly while the smoke stays composed and easy rather than aggressive, finishing long and mellow.
Keep your Coronas in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius. At this mild to medium weight the cigar is enjoyable young, yet a year or two of patient rest tends to round the spice and coax out more of the sweet, creamy depth. Rotate your boxes occasionally and check your hygrometer so the wrapper stays supple and the burn stays even.
This is an ideal cigar for the smoker who wants genuine Cuban refinement without a long sitting or a heavy strength. Newcomers appreciate how forgiving and smooth it smokes, while seasoned aficionados return to it as a dependable daily companion. If your preference runs to balance and elegance over power, the Coronas belongs in your rotation.
How long does the Romeo y Julieta Coronas take to smoke?
Plan on roughly 45 to 60 minutes at a relaxed pace, which makes it a comfortable choice for an afternoon or an after-dinner moment.
Is the Coronas a good cigar for beginners?
Yes. Its mild to medium body and smooth, creamy profile make it one of the more approachable Cuban coronas, while still offering enough depth to keep experienced smokers interested.
What is the difference between the Coronas and the Petit Coronas?
Both share the 42 ring gauge, but the Coronas is the fuller Corona format at 5 5/8 inches, whereas the Petit Coronas is the shorter Mareva at about 5 inches.

Decent corona but not my favorite from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Coronas has good flavor - floral and cedar - 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.
