There’s a new Romeo y Julieta Reserva Nicaragua called Midnight Twist, and it comes with a notable visual distinction. The “twist” is that the cigar is made with two wrapper leaves, one dark and the other lighter, which are rolled together, making the cigars resemble a barber-pole. It appeared at both the TPE trade show in January and the PCA trade show last month and has already shipped to retailers.
This is not the first time Altadis has taken a Romeo y Julieta cigar and given it the barber pole treatment—in 2022, the company added twisted versions to its Romeo Reserva Real line.
Midnight Twist is a collaboration between Rafael Nodal, head of product capability for Tabacalera U.S.A., and A.J. Fernandez, the pair behind the original Reserva Real Nicaragua line. Consisting entirely of Nicaraguan leaves grown on farms owned by Fernandez, Midnight Twist is available in two sizes: Twisted Toro ($10.92), measuring 6 inches by 54 ring gauge; and Twisted Love Story ($9.92), a perfecto measuring 4 1/4 by 46. According to the company, the cigars are medium-full in terms of strength.
While the Reserva Real Nicaragua line is made at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua in Estelí, Midnight Twist is produced at Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. The cigars ship in blue boxes of 25.
