ROMEO Y JULIETA 

Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Havana 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 heyday no less than 20,000 different bands were used in the production of cigars.

Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand and 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 Churchills.

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 Havana.

Today Romeo y Julieta is as well known around the world as ever and offers one of the widest range of tripa larga, totalmente a mano – long filler, totally handmade – sizes of any Havana brand.

NO. 1

A slender Corona that offers good value for its size. Cedar wrapped in an aluminium tube you can take it almost anywhere without fear of damage or loss of condition.

Tasting Notes

Lots of chocolate with a few hints of walnuts. Good draw, great construction, always a good smoke.

---- 

87 / 100

"The draw of this spotty corona is firm, but it still leaves impressions of sweet, creamy coffee, some cinnamon and earth, however, the finish becomes grassy and perfumy..."

This was a really nice smoke and it took me 1 hour to smoke to the nub. A bit of a firm draw which opened up the further along the cigar you get. Only a touch of spice all the way through made this enjoyable. Must keep a few in the humidor.

Found this to be a very pleasant smoke, notable chocolate notes in the 2nd third with an ending third that was more earthy. For myself I found this one to be around a 45min smoke and found it very pleasant and relaxing. This is one I would have again and recommend SEB

A very enjoyable smoke. To me, the tasting notes are well balanced with no specific note overtaking the others. Reasonably mild on the palette. The price is fantastic for a cigar of this quality.

A bit disappointed with this one. Fantastic aroma but the actual smoke was a bit too mild for my liking without much flavour. That said there was nothing unpleasant about it - just not enough to impress.

To start of, this was my second no.1 this week and i wanted to wait until the second one, before I wrote my review. After smoking it twice I am in no doubt that this is one of my favorites till’ now. The pre-draw gives a nice and creamy taste that fills up your expectations. Because of lack of preparation, we were missing a cutter and therefore had to punch it. Surprisingly enough, I ended up with a really nice draw throughout the cigar. The first 1/3 of the cigar contains a nice and wholesome flavor that reminds me of a creamy, yet intense coffee. Later in the cigar, the smoke becomes more cloudy and the flavor turns more woody and earthy. Which, for me, is how it should be. The cigar is a nice 1 hour smoke and is definitely a good catch for the price. My first cigar contained a nice flavor and a creamy smoke until the very end, meanwhile the second one lasted a bit shorter. Both of the cigar had an even burn all throughout. For this price and size, this is definitely one of my new favorites.
