Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Montague 75th Anniversary Cigars
Recently, I had the chance to smoke both the Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Montague 75th Anniversary cigars, exclusive releases created for Famous Smoke Shop’s anniversary celebration. Both cigars were enjoyable, but they delivered two very different experiences.
The Capulet leaned medium-bodied with a wonderfully creamy texture from the very first draw. Thick, billowing clouds of smoke poured effortlessly from the cigar, giving it a smooth and relaxing character throughout the smoke. Flavor-wise, I picked up a steady note of pepper lingering in the background, though it was never harsh or overpowering. Instead, it added just enough spice to balance the creamier notes of cedar, toasted nuts, and subtle sweetness. Overall, the Capulet came across as refined, approachable, and easy to enjoy.
The Montague, however, was the standout for me.
While it still maintained that same creamy mouthfeel, the Montague carried a much bolder and richer profile. Darker earthy notes immediately took center stage, followed by flavors of cocoa, roasted nuts, oak, and hints of espresso that gave the cigar far more depth and character. It felt fuller, more complex, and ultimately more memorable than the Capulet while still remaining smooth and balanced.
Construction on both cigars was very solid. They burned evenly, produced excellent smoke output, and delivered an easy draw throughout most of the experience. These definitely felt like quality anniversary releases rather than simple novelty cigars.
If you prefer smoother, creamier Connecticut-style cigars, the Capulet will likely appeal to you. But if you enjoy richer, darker flavors with more body and complexity, the Montague is absolutely the better of the two in my opinion.
Exclusive to Famous Smoke Shop, both cigars are worth trying — especially for Romeo y Julieta fans looking for something a little different from the traditional lineup.
PRESS RELEASE
Famous Smoke Shop Announces the Exclusive Release of the Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Montague 75th Anniversary
Easton, PA – With over 75 years of serving the industry, Famous Smoke Shop has been a leading online distributor of discounted premium cigars, with its humble roots tracing back to a small shop in New York City. The company specializes in offering the web’s widest selection of cigars at the lowest prices. It is with great excitement that Famous has just announced the release of two exclusive, limited-edition, special-sized cigars to help celebrate Famous Smoke Shop’s 75th anniversary, both of which are line extensions of the widely popular Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Montague lines. Offered in a rarely seen 6 1/2 x 54 vitola, the first shipment has just arrived at the company’s warehouse and is currently available for sale on their website. The company has expressed that the new brand will be available in limited quantities, but is not a one-time release and will be a consistent offering for the foreseeable future.
The Romeo y Julieta Capulet 75th Anniversary features Honduran and Nicaraguan longfillers, and a Nicaraguan binder, all wrapped in a massively flavorful Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper for a smoke that’s easy and smooth, yet loaded with enticing flavors. The Romeo y Julieta Montague 75th Anniversary is a bolder blend than its sister cigar with a hearty blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and creamy Brazilian longfillers, a Dominican Olor binder, and a Brazilian Maduro wrapper. The result is an astoundingly rich and complex cigar from start to finish.
“75 years is a major achievement for any company,” Cigar Advisor reviewer and Famous Smoke Shop copywriter Jonathan Detore remarked. “But to remain family owned throughout all those years makes this occasion that much more special. And what better cigar to celebrate with than the Montague or Capulet? Both have been stellar lines since their release, and this limited-edition size will only add more of that impeccable core flavor to the mix. I was especially excited to try out the Montague because of the Brazilian longfiller which was outstanding, but the Capulet was a rock star in my taste tests as well. Very well done by the men and women at Romeo y Julieta, and a big thank you for commemorating our anniversary with this specialty cigar.”
Both Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Montague 75th Anniversary cigars will be offered in a special 6 1/2 x 54 Double Toro. With Famous’s special full-box pricing, customers can enjoy this new offering at individual retail prices ranging from $5.85 to $6.40 per cigar, with production limited to 1,000 boxes for the Capulet blend and only 500 for the Montague blend.
