Romeo y Julieta 

Kentucky

Derby

In 1875, the birth of two icons would change their respective worlds forever. The Romeo y Julieta cigar company began, introducing a labor of true love to customers who would go on to enjoy the product for more than a century to come. And the Kentucky Derby ran its first race, giving sports fans a first-hand look at the romance of a truly American pastime. Now, those two legendary names have collaborated on a cigar called Run for the Roses 2025 that arrived just in time for racing season. This is an incredible smoke and an even better timepiece that can be proudly displayed in your cigar lounge or tobacco shop. Crafted to give the real feel of a stable at the historic Churchill Downs, these 20-count boxes were produced in extremely limited quantities in circulation. The proud logos of the 151st Running of the Kentucky Derby and the unmistakable artistry of Romeo y Julieta have never shared this kind of space before the Run for the Roses line began in 2024, despite cigar smoking being tightly intertwined with the history of horse racing. The 6x50 medium bodied smoke was crafted at Tabacalera Garcia and underwent a special, elongated aging process in order to bring out a floral sweetness from deep within the cigar. A Nicaraguan puro, smokers will notice a sweetness off the top, balanced by some fruit-forward flavors and capped with a traditional peppery spice. The cigar is a handsome milk chocolate color, double banded and branded with its own golden horseshoe. Each and every step of the process was overseen by Grupo De Maestros, a highly-esteemed group of cigar experts with centuries of combined experience in crafting the perfect cigar.
