The verdict
The Romeo y Julieta Cedros de Luxe No. 2 is a balanced, medium-bodied smoke from Romeo y Julieta's Cedros de Luxe line. It's a Cuban corona (cervantes) wrapped in Cuban at 5.6 in × 42.
On the palate, expect cedar, roasted nuts, and coffee, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 50 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, aged rum, and cognac. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
The Cedros de Luxe line is defined by its signature touch: each cigar is wrapped in a thin cedar sleeve, with the band placed on the sleeve rather than the cigar. The No. 2 is the Cervantes — a 5.6-inch by 42 corona, the larger of the cedar-wrapped Romeos.
What it tastes like
The cedar sleeve does real work here, infusing the cigar with extra woody, aromatic sweetness on top of the brand's classic profile. Underneath you get a medium-bodied Havana with smooth cedar, roasted nuts, coffee, and a touch of honey, finished with light spice. The elegant corona shape burns cool and even over roughly 45 minutes. It's one of the more aromatic ways to enjoy a Romeo y Julieta.
Who it's for
This suits smokers who love cedar character and a refined, classic corona. The presentation makes it a nice gift cigar too. It's approachable enough for newcomers while staying interesting for veterans. For the smaller cedar-wrapped petit corona in the same line, see the Cedros de Luxe No. 3.
Leave the cedar sleeve on while it rests in your humidor — it adds aroma over time. Track how the cedar develops in the Casa DNC app.
