Named after William Shakespeare's tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Habano date back to 1875.

The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th Century under the direction of Don 'Pepin' Rodriguez, a talented promoter, who was amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his hey day no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.

Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand. Following his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been commemorated on a band but it has also served to describe the marque's most famous size - Romeo y Julieta Churchill.

The 21st century has seen the arrival of two additional sizes using the name. The first called Short Churchill, a robusto size that had been missing from the range, was added in 2006. The second launched as the 21st Festival del Habano in 2010, was Wide Churchills, which boasts a 55 ring gauge to mark the trend amongst enthusiasts for stouter girth vitolas.

Romeo y Julieta's balanced and aromatic blend of selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone make it the classic medium bodied Habano.

Today Romeo y Julieta is well known around the world as ever and offers the widest range of long filler sizes in any Habano brand.

Tasting Notes

Good construction and burn. Earthy and woody notes, with hints of sweet honey and pepper. A truly exquisite delight.

94 / 100

"...First puffs of this box-pressed belicoso leave sweet and savory impressions of salted caramel, wood and vanilla. Subtle notes of oaked red wine make this a very complex smoke..."

A medium - mild bodied cigar. The constructon was good, but the wrapper seemed a bit dry. There are notes of leather , friuit (berries), and long spicey finish. A nice cigar, but a bit mild for my liking. written by Michael

Always heard these could be harsh. Pleasantly surprised to find cedar and spice flavors in good balance with the firm productive draw. Fun to give away. written by JM USA

As a fan of R&J I tend to like their cigars almost instantly. Yet, something is missing from this one. The flavour is somehow held back and the notes of fruit and spice are not at all powerful. I found it too light for its own good. written by Mihai
