Construction and Presentation

As with all Edición Limitada releases, the Dukes receives special attention in its presentation and construction. The cigar features the standard Romeo y Julieta band D, elegantly complemented by the distinctive Edición Limitada 2009 secondary band that identifies it as part of that year's exclusive limited production. This dual-band arrangement immediately signals the cigar's premium status within the brand's lineup.

Each Dukes is meticulously handcrafted, representing the pinnacle of Cuban cigar-making tradition. The vitola is presented in dress boxes containing 10 cigars, making for an attractive addition to any collector's humidor.

The Duke Format

The Duke vitola represents a new special release size created specifically for this Edición Limitada. With its substantial 54 ring gauge and 140 mm length, the format offers a generous smoking experience that allows the blend's complexity to fully develop. This robusto extra profile provides ample smoking time while maintaining excellent draw and combustion characteristics.

Collectibility

As a 2009 Edición Limitada release, the Romeo y Julieta Dukes holds particular significance for collectors and enthusiasts. Limited Edition cigars from Cuba are produced in restricted quantities using specially selected aged tobaccos, making each release a unique snapshot of Cuban cigar craftsmanship from that particular year.
