Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos

The Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos is one of the most popular Cuban Petit Corona cigars in the UK, offering a classic medium‑bodied Havana experience in a convenient, travel‑friendly tube. It measures 5 1/8 inches (129 mm) with a 42 ring gauge and is hand‑rolled with long‑filler tobaccos from Cuba’s renowned Vuelta Abajo region, the heartland of premium Cuban leaf. Each cigar is presented in a cedar‑lined aluminium tube, which protects the cigar, helps preserve humidity and subtly enhances the development of cedar and spice notes during ageing – ideal for UK storage and carrying in a pocket or jacket.

The No.2 Tubos is widely regarded as Romeo y Julieta’s best‑known and most popular size, and is a frequent choice for UK smokers looking for a reliable everyday Cuban cigar. This round Mareva‑size cigar offers a burn time of around 30-40 minutes, making it perfect for a relaxed break, a pub garden smoke or pairing with a coffee or light whisky at home.

About Romeo y Julieta cigars

Founded in 1875 and named after Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, Romeo y Julieta is one of Cuba’s most famous and historic cigar brands and a long‑time favourite of UK cigar enthusiasts. The brand quickly gained favour among European aristocracy and became a favourite of Sir Winston Churchill; his name still graces the legendary Romeo y Julieta Churchill and Wide Churchill vitolas. Today, Romeo y Julieta is known for its balanced, aromatic blends, elegant presentation and wide range of sizes, making it a go‑to choice for both newcomers to Cuban cigars and experienced aficionados across the UK.

Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos – Tasting Notes

The Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos delivers a refined, evolving and approachable medium‑bodied profile with the brand’s signature floral and woody character.

Initial third:
Opens with smooth notes of cedar and toasted nuts, accompanied by a gentle floral aroma and a touch of natural sweetness. Subtle spice in the background sets the stage for a classic, easygoing Cuban flavour profile that is never harsh.

Middle third:
Flavours of leather, earth and coffee begin to emerge, joined by hints of caramel, cocoa and garden herbs. The smoke stays creamy and well balanced, with mild fruitiness and a touch of vanilla adding complexity without pushing the strength beyond medium.

Final third:
The cigar finishes with richer notes of wood, earth and a lingering sweetness, while peppery undertones and a mild chocolatey character add depth. The profile remains smooth and civilised right to the nub, making this a satisfying but never overpowering smoke.

Aroma & mouthfeel:
Expect an aromatic bouquet of cedar, floral notes and light nuttiness, underpinned by earth, leather and subtle spice. The smoke is creamy and smooth, with a velvet‑like texture and an even burn; the cedar‑lined tube helps preserve freshness and supports the cigar’s nuanced, fragrant character over time.

Other Romeo y Julieta cigars for UK smokers

If you enjoy the profile of the Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos, there are several other vitolas in the range that UK cigar smokers regularly reach for. For a longer, thicker smoke with more body and presence, the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill is a superb choice; this 55‑ring cigar delivers classic Romeo notes of cedar, cream and subtle spice in a modern, large‑ring format that has become a favourite with British smokers who like a slower, more indulgent cigar.

If you prefer a shorter cigar for 20–30 minutes – ideal for UK weather or a quick break – the Romeo y Julieta No.3 Tubos offers a slightly smaller, Coronita‑sized experience. It provides a balanced mix of cedar, floral spice, roasted nuts and gentle sweetness, again in a cedar‑lined tube for convenience and protection on the go.

For something more luxurious and suitable for special occasions, the Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro Dianas sits in the brand’s prestige “Golden Line”, created to celebrate 145 years of Romeo y Julieta. This Toro‑format cigar uses the finest Vuelta Abajo tobaccos and offers a more complex, medium‑to‑full taste with layers of cedar, earth, leather, cocoa, roasted coffee, dried fruit and almonds, presented in striking modern packaging that stands out in any UK humidor.
