Romeo y Julieta Cedros de Luxe No. 3

The Cedros de Luxe No. 3 takes Romeo y Julieta's classic Marevas petit corona and dresses it in the line's trademark cedar sleeve, with the band wrapped around the cedar rather than the cigar. It's the smallest of the three cedar-wrapped Romeos.

What it tastes like

This is a medium-bodied Havana built on smooth cedar, roasted nuts, and a light coffee-and-honey character, with a creamy texture. The cedar sleeve adds a layer of sweet, woody aroma that lifts the whole smoke and sets it apart from the plain petit corona. At 5.1 inches by 42 ring gauge it burns cool and even over about 35 to 40 minutes, making it a refined, aromatic everyday cigar.

Who it's for

If you enjoy the standard Romeo petit corona but want that extra cedar sweetness and a smarter presentation, this is the one. It's very approachable for newer smokers and a pleasant daily Havana for everyone else. For the larger corona in the same cedar-wrapped line, step up to the Cedros de Luxe No. 2; for the plain version, see the Petit Coronas.

Keep the cedar sleeve on in storage to let the aroma build, and log your impressions in the Casa DNC app.
