After a delay in delivery, at the beginning of 2022, the first boxes of the Linea de Oro reached
markets worldwide. This release underlines the choice of Habanos SA to carve out
a super premium segment within the portfolio of their global brands. The Romeo y Julieta
Linea de Oro comes in three formats (Dianas, Hidalgos, Nobles), which correspond to
three new vitolas de Galera (Damas, Hidalgo, Triangulare), presented in elegant twenty-count
boxes, in which the red and gold are the dominant colors.
Among the three new references, the Hidalgos offers a very complex and satisfying
smoke. The opening is characterized by aromas of aged wood, white pepper, and roasted
coffee beans, with a strength slightly higher than the medium level. The central section
becomes slightly spicier on the palate with an evolution that brings notes of leather and
walnut to the base of white pepper and toasted coffee. In the final third, the cigar becomes
stronger and much more balsamic without neglecting the peppery and leathery
notes of the previous thirds.
A smoke that boasts a respectable evolution, an unparalleled creaminess on the palate,
and a flavor intensity that increases puff after puff. The finish is noteworthy, and the flavor
profile also satisfies for its refinement.
