Romeo y Julieta Cigars

Romeo y Julieta offers Cuban cigars ranging from smaller formats like Petit Julieta to larger options such as the Churchill. The brand provides formats including single cigars, aluminum tubos, tins of 5 units, and boxes of 3-25 cigars.

Flavor and Construction

These medium-strength cigars blend bitter and sweet notes with Cuban terroir characteristics. Tasting notes feature cedar, leather, and coffee aromas with floral accents. The combustion remains even across all vitolas, supported by structured filler tobaccos and elastic wrappers.

Historical Background

Founded in 1875 by Manin Garcia and Inocencio Alvarez, the brand adopted its name from Shakespeare's tragedy. Production transitioned to state-owned Cubatabaco after Cuba's tobacco industry nationalization.

Churchill Vitola

The 7-inch Churchill format with 47 ring gauge remains a signature offering, originally crafted for British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. This vitola uses aged ligero leaves in its filler blend.

The current lineup includes multiple sizes from 4.3-inch petit coronas to 7.5-inch giant vitolas. Packaging options accommodate both casual smokers and collectors, with aluminum tubes preserving humidity for individual cigars.
