The newest release of the iconic brand, Romeo y Julieta Envy is a limited-edition cigar blended by Rafael Nodal and made by the Plasencia family in Nicaragua. It’s a follow-up to last year’s heralded Romeo y Julieta Eternal.
A Nicaraguan Puro, Envy comes in one size and is packaged in glossy green 11-count boxes. The wrapper is a high-priming leaf grown in the Jalapa region that, according to Altadis, has more age than wrappers typically found on Romeo y Julieta cigars. A careful selection of tobaccos born of volcanic soils and chosen from Plasencia's private reserve completes the blend.
The overall experience delivers a robust profile with notes of earth, pepper and spice and is more like the Cuban version of Romeo than its current for sale counterparts here in the U.S.
