Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Toro

The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Toro is a different kind of Romeo y Julieta. The brand managers turned to the Plasencia family and their Nicaraguan factory to create this new generation of RyJ cigars. The Plasencias wasted no time and selected some stellar Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos. Here’s where things got interesting. They selected an unusual Connecticut seed tobacco shade-grown in Nicaragua for the wrapper. They nailed it, and the results speak for themselves. The blend features tasting notes of cedar and cream along with hints of vanilla, pepper, and citrus. The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Toro is a solid medium-strength cigar with excellent construction and burns. If cigars like this are the future of Romeo y Julieta, count us in.

One of the most recognized names in the cigar industry, Romeo y Julieta has a reputation to uphold. Typically, a Romeo y Julieta is a medium bodied experience that is always pleasant. When the brand decided to expand their portfolio with Connecticut Nicaragua, they decided to try something different, and a new chapter in the brand’s story began. To make this new Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua, the makers decided to use an all Nicaraguan blend to create a more richly flavored blend that stayed true to the brand’s identity while also appealing to a different base of aficionados. It was an instant success.
