Every Romeo y Julieta Tacos E.L 2018 is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Romeo y Julieta has long stood among the pillars of Havana cigar making, and the Tacos Edicion Limitada 2018 shows exactly why the marque commands such loyalty. For this release the factory revived the Taco format, a girthy vitola whose roots reach back to the 1970s before it slipped out of regular production. Wrapped in a darker leaf that has been aged for the limited series and offered in boxes of 25, this 2018 edition pairs heritage proportions with the polished, gentlemanly character that defines the house.
The opening third leans on classic Cuban cedar, with toasted almond and a light dusting of black pepper riding underneath. By the midpoint the smoke turns creamier, drawing out notes of leather, vanilla, and a quiet thread of fresh coffee that keeps things grounded. The final third deepens toward cocoa and espresso, never harsh, holding a smooth and even balance that rewards a slow, deliberate pace all the way to the band.
Like most Edicion Limitada cigars, the Tacos 2018 was built for the long haul and tends to reward patience. Keep your boxes at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady temperature near 18 degrees Celsius, or about 64 to 66 Fahrenheit, in a well seasoned humidor. Given another couple of years of careful rest, the slight youthful spice mellows and the leather, cocoa, and cedar knit together into something noticeably rounder.
This is a cigar for the collector and the unhurried smoker rather than the person looking for a quick fix. Its generous 6.6 inch length asks for a good hour or more of uninterrupted time, so it suits a relaxed evening, a celebration, or any moment when you want a piece of Romeo y Julieta history in hand. Newcomers can certainly enjoy its gentle Mild to Medium body, though seasoned aficionados will appreciate the format’s rarity most of all.
What size is the Romeo y Julieta Tacos E.L 2018?
It measures 6.6 inches in length, roughly 168 mm, with a 49 ring gauge in the Taco format, and it ships in boxes of 25.
How strong is this cigar?
It sits in the Mild to Medium range, smooth and approachable while still offering enough depth to keep experienced smokers engaged.
Should I smoke it now or age it?
You can enjoy it today, but as a limited edition it ages gracefully. A year or two of additional rest in a seasoned humidor lets the flavours marry and softens any youthful edge.
