Romeo y Julieta, originally famous for its premium Cuban cigars, expanded production to include cigarettes in 1999.[2] Manufactured by Habanos S.A. and BrasCuba, the brand is owned by Altadis, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco.[3] What makes these cigarettes distinctive is that they are made from the same high-quality dark tobacco as Romeo y Julieta cigars, giving them a very rich and strong flavor, similar to other robust brands like Gauloises.[4][5] Romeo y Julieta cigarettes are mainly sold in Cuba, but are or were sold in Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico Moldova and Russia.[6][7] Made of the same tobacco as their older cigar namesakes, Romeo y Julieta cigarettes are notable for their very strong flavour. They are made of dark tobacco, like gauloises.
