We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve managed to get our hands on the Romeo y Julieta Maravillas 8 Cigar! It’s a special cigar that has been created in commemoration to the 2020 Chinese New Year - the year of the rat. Previously, the Chinese new year editions were exclusively released to the Spanish market - but this year, following the huge success, the Cuban cigars have been released worldwide.
"YOUR LUCKY CHARM"
The cigars come presented in a unique casing designed exclusively for the special occasion. The red-lacquered box is beautifully engraved with a gold rat on the front - housing 8 of these limited edition cigars. The number '8' is thought to bring good fortune in the Chinese culture - so perhaps this smoke could be your lucky charm! Each cigar is dressed with the brand’s band as well as an additional band decorated with a gold rat and the year ‘2020’.
