Romeo y Julieta Churchill Cigar – Single Tubos

The Romeo y Julieta Churchill Cigar serves as the flagship product of the brand, directly linked to Sir Winston Churchill’s patronage during his post-war visit to Cuba. Available in multiple vitolas including petit, short, wide, and the original 7-inch (178mm) Churchill format with a 47-ring gauge, this cigar features a blend of Vuelta Abajo tobacco. Its construction ensures a slow, even burn and consistent draw, with a medium-bodied profile that evolves during smoking. The blend’s aging potential is noted, with recommendations to store it for at least three years to optimize flavor development.

Handcrafted with a smooth Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and aged filler leaves, the Romeo y Julieta Churchill Cigar delivers sequential flavor notes. Initial impressions include cedar and earthy undertones, followed by roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and subtle spices. Secondary layers reveal vanilla sweetness, dried fruit, and nutty accents. The cigar’s balanced complexity stems from its blend of Ligero, Seco, and Volado leaves, which contribute to its refined strength and aromatic consistency.

Designed for extended smoking sessions, the Romeo y Julieta Churchill maintains structural integrity across its 90-minute average smoke time. Its tubo packaging preserves humidity and protects the wrapper during transport. While immediately smokable, collectors emphasize its capacity to mature in flavor depth when cellared under 65-70% humidity at 16-18°C. This cigar remains a benchmark for Cuban craftsmanship, adhering to traditional rolling techniques established since 1875.
