Romeo y Julieta Crafted by AJ Fernandez Gordo 6" * 60

Two industry giants have teamed up to bring you a cigar that is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Romeo y Julieta and AJ Fernandez relentlessly collaborated on this new offering, bringing together the experience and history of the RyJ brand and meshing it with the modern influence of AJ. The result is a solid and classy look and feel with an amazingly complex yet smooth flavor profile. The H2000 maduro wrapper provides a dash of spice, while the premium Nicaraguan filler evens things out and adds creamy notes of cedar and subtle fruit. Once sampled, a true enthusiast will find it hard to resist keeping this cigar in constant supply in their humidor.

The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring gauge.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 60, so his diameter is 60/64 inches or 23.88 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Habana 2000 or H2000, is a hybrid between El Corojo, Cuba's standard wrapper leaf last cultivated in the 90s, and a cigarette tobacco called Bell 61-10. Cuban cigar growers crossed these two tobaccos in order to get a wrapper leaf that would be more resistant to disease than the Corojo was. Although its introduction was controversial and the leaf was not widely accepted, its quality has improved over time and it is now being cultivated with success outside of Cuba as well.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
