About the Romeo y Julieta Linea de Oro Dianas
Romeo y Julieta has been crafting Havana cigars since 1875, and the Linea de Oro represents the brand stepping into rarefied territory. Introduced to mark 145 years of the marca, this Golden Line was the first regular-production sub-brand Habanos created within Romeo y Julieta, blended to feel a notch richer than the classic range. The Dianas is the longest of the three vitolas in the collection, presented in a lacquered sycamore case finished in the house’s signature red. At 145mm by a 52 ring gauge, it is a substantial yet refined format that gives the blend room to unfold.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans sweet and inviting, with cocoa and a gentle nuttiness setting the tone over a soft cedar backbone. Through the middle the smoke gains structure, layering in roasted nuts and faint baking spice while the wood notes deepen. The final third carries the most character, where touches of leather and a lingering cocoa sweetness round out a controlled, medium-bodied finish that never turns harsh.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum, whose caramel and oak echo the cigar’s sweeter register.
- A cup of dark, freshly brewed espresso to lift the cocoa and nut tones.
- A lightly peated single malt Scotch for those who want a touch more contrast.
Aging and storage
Keep your Dianas at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius inside a well-seasoned humidor. The blend is enjoyable young, but a year or two of patient rest tends to marry the cocoa, nut, and cedar notes into something smoother and more cohesive. Rotate your boxes occasionally and check your hygrometer so the wrapper stays supple and the draw stays even.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who appreciates a polished, well-mannered Havana rather than a heavy powerhouse. Its medium body makes it approachable for those moving up from milder sticks, while the layered flavors and luxury presentation reward seasoned aficionados looking for an occasion smoke. If you enjoy the Romeo y Julieta house style and want its most refined expression, the Linea de Oro Dianas belongs in your collection.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Romeo y Julieta Romeo y Julieta Linea de Oro Dianas delivered on flavor (cream and vanilla) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Linea de Oro Dianas has good flavor – wood and spice – 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.
