About Romeo y Julieta (United States)
Romeo y Julieta in the United States is a Dominican-made cigar sold by Altadis U.S.A., part of Tabacalera USA, which lists it among its top-selling US brands. It has no ownership link to the Cuban-made Romeo y Julieta that Habanos S.A. sells worldwide outside the United States, a name created as a Habanos brand in 1875. The 1962 US trade embargo on Cuba is why the same nineteenth-century name now belongs to two unrelated companies.
