For the next installment in the growing Romeo y Julieta line, Altadis U.S.A. is partnering with Rafael Nodal of Boutique Blends to create the Romeo by Romeo y Julieta Aging Room. The cigar will also bear the name of one Boutique Blends’ lines, in this case being known as the Small Batch F25. It is a Dominican puro made at Jochy Blanco’s Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic. It will be produced in three vitolas, a 5 x 48 called Copla, the 6 x 54 Capriccio and 6 x 52 Cantaor. All will come in 20-count boxes with a price between $10 – $12 per cigar. The project is being caped at 250,000 cigars. The cigars are expected to debut in April and will be distributed by Altadis U.S.A. Pictures of the cigar or the project’s artwork have not yet been made available, as both Nodal and a spokesperson for Altadis confirmed that the designs were still being finalized. The project was first announced in the March 3, 2015 edition of Cigar Insider.
