Altadis U.S.A. announces the Romeo y Julieta 152nd Kentucky Derby limited-edition cigar, continuing a partnership between the two entities. The 6 x 52 Toro is a Nicaraguan puro and comes in two box formats: a 10-count collectorโs box ($25/$250), offered through select premium retailers, and a single-count commemorative coffin ($30), available exclusively at kiosks throughout Churchill Downs during Derby Week, April 25 to May 2.
Shipping will begin in April, in advance of the Kentucky Derby, which is held annually on the first Saturday in May.
โThe Kentucky Derby is one of the most iconic celebrations of tradition and excellence in American culture,โ Mariana Hinestrosa, senior brand manager for Romeo y Julieta, said in a press release. โThis release was designed to reflect that same sense of occasion, through refined presentation, thoughtful details, and a blend crafted to recognize one of the most memorable events of the year.โ
