Romeo y Julieta Los 3 Romeos
The Los 3 Romeos presentation from Romeo y Julieta offered enthusiasts a curated sampling experience, bringing together three of the brand's beloved standard production vitolas in a single elegant package. This special release allowed smokers to explore the classic Romeo y Julieta profile across three distinct formats, each housed in its own aluminum tube for optimal preservation.
The Collection
This trio showcased the Romeo No.1, Romeo No.2, and Romeo No.3—three sizes that represent the accessible face of the Romeo y Julieta portfolio. Each cigar was individually tubed, making the set ideal for travel, gifting, or simply enjoying the convenience of ready-to-smoke cigars that maintain their freshness.

Construction and Presentation
All three cigars in this collection were entirely handmade, reflecting the craftsmanship that has defined Romeo y Julieta since its founding. The presentation consisted of a dress box containing the three aluminum-tubed cigars, creating an attractive and practical format.
Collectors will note a band variation during the production run. Earlier releases featured the standard band A on cigars within the original tube style, while from 2008 onward, the newer tubes contained cigars adorned with the standard band D design.
Production History
Romeo y Julieta introduced Los 3 Romeos in 2006 as part of the brand's Other Special Release category. The collection remained in production for over a decade before being discontinued in 2017. This eleven-year run provided ample opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire and enjoy this convenient trio format.
Individual Vitolas
Each size in the collection brought its own smoking experience. The Romeo No.1, known by its factory name Cremas, offered the longest format at 140mm with a slender 40 ring gauge. The Romeo No.2, or Marevas in factory nomenclature, provided a slightly thicker 42 ring gauge with moderate length. The Romeo No.3, called Coronitas during production, delivered the most compact smoking session at 117mm, perfect for those seeking a shorter indulgence.
