Rolled on the legs of that many fat sweaty men in factory. Beware the Padron 1000 series

So these Romeo Y Julieta's weren't made in 1875?!? Thanks for the fast reply

In the case of RyJ, 1875 is a reference to the year the brand's range was fully established in Cuba, the brand itself was launched in the 1850's and officially registered in 1873.

It usually has some significance for the brand name and sometimes for the vintage of the harvest. Good examples are AJ's 1844 and the Morro Castle which has a 1589 date (castle construction start date)
