Habanos S.A have released a special one-off Romeo y Julieta cigar called the Maravillas 8 to celebrate the 2020 Chinese New Year/Spring Festival.
Themed to honour the Year of the Rat, 8 cigars are housed in a stylish Romeo red lacquered box and are dressed with an additional foot band. A branded red velvet outer casing completes the impressive presentation. Each cigar measures 6 1/8” (155mm) x 55 ring gauge and is referred to as a Maravillas No.3 in the factories of Cuba, sharing its dimensions with the Montecristo 520 (2012 Edición Limitada).
As the number 8 is considered an auspicious or ‘lucky’ number in Chinese culture, the Romeo y Julieta Maravilla 8 is sure to appeal directly to cigar enthusiasts from this part of the world and collectors globally.
The cigar was launched at two separate events at The Kerry Hotel in Hong Kong on 13th & 14th November and is now available worldwide albeit in limited quantities.
Romeo y Julieta have one of the largest range of sizes in the entire Habanos collection. The brand started in the early 1870s and takes its name from Shakespeare’s classics. In all of Havanas rolling galleries, the Lectors would read from Newspapers and classic stories while the rollers made the cigars.
These medium bodied cigars are enjoyed by Novices and experienced smokers alike. The thick and creamy texture is complimented with a subtle sweetness along with the distinct woody flavours found in many Habanos cigars.
