Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Cigar – Box of 10

The Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Cigar debuted in 2006 as a follow-up to the smaller Churchill vitola. Measuring 5 ¼ inches (135mm) in length with a 55-ring gauge, this Toro-format cigar uses Vuelta Abajo tobacco from Cuba’s Pinar del Río region. The increased ring gauge promotes slower combustion, extending the smoking duration while maintaining consistent heat distribution.

Flavor Development & Profile

The Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill opens with cedar and roasted nut notes, transitioning to sweet spices and vanilla mid-way. Final thirds introduce cocoa and leather tones. The blend’s medium-to-full strength caters to both novice smokers and daytime sessions, avoiding overpowering intensity.

Construction & Performance

Featuring a slightly oily Cuban-seed wrapper, the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill demonstrates minimal tunneling or relight requirements. The 55-ring gauge accommodates increased filler tobacco volume, generating dense smoke output. Box-pressed shaping enhances ergonomics for extended holding comfort.

Smoking Characteristics

• Average burn time: 85-95 minutes
• Ash retention: 1.5-2 inch segments
• Draw resistance: Minimal airflow restriction

Presented in boxes of 10, the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill offers aging potential due to its layered tobacco blend. The format’s girth allows progressive flavor revelation, with secondary cream and earth nuances emerging after six months of humidor storage.
