JR Cigar has announced that it will be kicking off its 50th Anniversary celebration by teaming up with Altadis U.S.A. with the release of Romeo y Julieta Edicion Limitada JR 50th.

โ€œWe are incredibly fortunate to work with JR Cigar on this momentous project,โ€ said Rafael Nodal, Head of Product Capability for Altadis U.S.A. โ€œFrom its complex blend, to its packaging and even the band, Romeo y Julieta Edicion Limitada JR 50th is the perfect cigar to launch this year-long celebration. We are looking forward to many more years of working with the JR team,โ€ Nodal said.

The Romeo y Julieta Edicion Limitada JR 50th is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera de Garcia and rolled with a variety of aged tobaccos from four different countries. It starts with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos for a nutty and zesty core. The binder is a rich and flavorful Connecticut Broadleaf, while the finishing touch is an exquisite Criollo Mexicano wrapper.

Offered in a 12-count box, Romeo y Julieta Edicion Limitada JR 50th is available in one size: 5 X 54 Rothchilde ($15.00 per cigar; $180.00 per box). Only 500 boxes of this exclusive limited release are being made.

This cigar will be available starting Monday, February 22, exclusively on the JR Cigar website.
