DESCRIPTION: Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve is not your standard Romeo. Unlike most Romeo y Julieta blends, Habana Reserve hails from Honduras and is a welcomed change to a brand that mostly produces mild to medium-bodied cigars.

Manufactured in Honduras at the Flor de Copan factoryby the Altadis Company, the Belicoso is a box pressed beauty. The Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve is a cigar for those enthusiasts looking for a richer and fuller-flavored cigar in the Romeo y Julieta line.

A mix of Nicaraguan and Honduran long-leaf tobaccos makes up the filler in Habana Reserve. These tobaccos are bound together with a high quality Nicaraguan binder leaf, which is then masked by a flawless and very oily Nicaraguan Habano wrapper.
