Sumatra Wrapper

Romeo y Julieta 150th Anniversary

Launched in 2025 by Altadis U. S. A. , the Romeo y Julieta 150th Anniversary is a Dominican-made commemorative line built around an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper aged and fermented by A. J. Fernández, a Mexican San Andrés binder and Peruvian, Honduran and Dominican fillers. Offered in three regular sizes (Prologue 5×50, Balconet 6×52, Crescendo 7×50), it sits in the medium–full lane with tasting notes of cedar and baking spice upfront, moving into dark chocolate, coffee and an earthy, raisin-tinged sweetness.

Produced at Tabacalera de García, the 150th Anniversary blend reads like a growers' roll call: a cinnamon to coffee brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper (aged and fermented by A. J. Fernández) over a darker, slightly spicy Mexican San Andrés binder, with fillers from Peru, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Visually the Sumatra shows a touch of oil and mild tooth; the binder supplies the spicy backbone while the multi country filler pack adds layered sweetness and earthy depth. Smoking it lands in the medium–full lane — the opening favors cedar and baking spice, the midpalate leans into dark chocolate and coffee atop an earthy core, and a raisin tinged sweetness with toasted oak emerges as the cigar develops. Texture is dense and creamy rather than harsh, producing steady, weighty smoke and a lingering dry espresso finish. The release is notable for its named partner sourcing (A. J. Fernández on the Sumatra, the Turrent family for San Andrés and Plasencia/José Méndez contributing fillers) and for the way it was offered: three regular production vitolas in decorative 16 count boxes alongside a collectible motorized humidor that included an exclusive 6½×52 belicoso.
