Storage Instructions
For optimal preservation of Romeo y Julieta Cupidos LCDH (20) store the cigars in a well-maintained humidor. Aim for a relative humidity between 68% and 72% and a steady temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC). These Cuban hand-rolled cigars have a refined wrapper that is sensitive to rapid changes in humidity and temperature so maintain a stable environment to prevent wrapper blemishes and uneven burn. Season the humidor with distilled water or a recommended seasoning solution and use Spanish cedar lining when possible to help regulate moisture and enhance aroma. Avoid direct sunlight, heaters and kitchen areas where heat and odours can fluctuate and affect the tobacco. For short-term travel store them in a travel humidor or a sealed container with a two-way humidity pack to keep conditions steady.
Care Tips
Handle Romeo y Julieta Cupidos LCDH (20) with clean, dry hands and avoid rolling the cigar between your fingers to protect the wrapper. Allow newly purchased cigars to acclimatise in your humidor for 7 to 14 days before smoking to ensure even humidity. For smaller formats a punch or a careful narrow straight cut will preserve the cap and maintain a proper draw. Toast the foot gently before taking the first puffs and use a butane lighter or cedar spill for the cleanest flavour. These cigars can be enjoyed straight away but will reward short- to medium-term ageing of 6 months to 2 years as the blend settles and flavours harmonise. Rotate stock occasionally to promote even humidity distribution and keep the humidor’s hygrometer calibrated so your Romeo y Julieta Cupidos LCDH (20) remain in peak condition.
Reviews and Ratings
This Romeo y Julieta Cupidos LCDH release is an La Casa del Habano exclusive, and as such there are few formal reviews from the big magazines. magazines like Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel do not always cover boutique exclusives comprehensively, so official scores for this exact vitola are limited. That said many boutique retailers and customers who buy LCDH exclusives report favourable impressions, noting consistent construction and a balanced flavour profile typical of Romeo y Julieta Cuban blends. If you enjoy other Romeo y Julieta cigars you will likely appreciate the approachable and refined character that patrons often describe for these limited runs.
History and Heritage
Romeo y Julieta is one of Cuba’s most enduring cigar houses, established in Havana in 1875 and celebrated for a wide range of classic vitolas. The brand built its reputation on elegant, well balanced blends and on offering a variety of sizes to suit different preferences. An LCDH label signals a boutique release sold through La Casa del Habano boutiques, crafted with Cuban tobaccos and traditional rollers. The Cupidos edition fits into that legacy, offering a compact and carefully finished expression of the Romeo y Julieta style that appeals to collectors and regular smokers alike.
Tasting Notes
The Romeo y Julieta Cupidos LCDH (20) offers a refined, medium-bodied experience that unfolds with satin-smooth smoke and immediate cedar and warm honeyed tobacco on the draw. Mid-palate notes of roasted almond, subtle dark cocoa and a whisper of white pepper develop into a rounded core of leather and toasted brioche. Aromas of hay, dried florals and sweet spice rise from the ash, creating a layered bouquet that feels both classic and intimate. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving echoes of spice and gentle nuttiness on the palate.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Cuban-style rum (e.g., Havana Club 7), its molasses sweetness and oak-driven vanilla accentuate the cigar’s honeyed tobacco and toasted notes while the spirit’s warmth complements the peppery finish. Italian espresso, a brisk, crema-rich shot cuts through the cigar’s creaminess and amplifies the cocoa and almond nuances for a lively contrast. 70–75% dark chocolate, the bittersweet profile mirrors the cigar’s cocoa undertones and enhances the lingering leather and nut notes, creating a harmonious dessert pairing.
