Romeo y Julieta 1875 Bully

The Romeo y Julieta 1875 is the brand's flagship line outside Cuba, made by Altadis at the Tabacalera de García factory in the Dominican Republic. The Bully is its robusto, and it's a longtime go-to for an affordable, consistent everyday cigar. (Note: this is a different cigar from the Cuban Romeo y Julieta — same heritage name, different blend and country.)

What it tastes like

The 1875 Bully is a medium-bodied smoke wrapped in an aromatic Indonesian TBN shade-grown leaf over Dominican binder and filler. Expect toasty flavors of aged cedar, roasted nuts, and a warm cinnamon spice, all well balanced and smooth from light to nub. It's easy-drawing and forgiving, with none of the harshness that can creep into budget cigars.

Who it's for

This is a reliable daily smoke and a great option for newer smokers who want something approachable and widely available. If you want to taste how the non-Cuban Romeo compares to the original, line it up against the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill and read our Cuban vs Nicaraguan guide for the bigger picture on regional styles.
