When the Romeo y Julieta brand turned 145 years old, Habanos S.A. announced a special line at the 2020 Habanos Festival to mark the huge anniversary—the Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro. The commemorative Cuban “gold line” is finally starting to appear in markets around the world, nearly two years late.

The Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro marks the first time Habanos S.A. has created a ultra-premium linea within Romeo y Julieta brand. It will be offered in three sizes: Dianas, Hidalgos and Nobles. Línea de Oro translates to gold line and the bands for the cigars prominently feature a gold colour.

To emphasize the anniversary, the 20-count boxes are highly decorative, made of sycamore wood stained in a sanguine shade of red that alludes to Romeo’s signature color. An embossed medallion is also set into the lid. The edges of the Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro bands are trimmed with holographic elements.
