Romeo y Julieta Churchills

Romeo y Julieta Churchills – The Cigar That Gave the Vitola Its Name

The Romeo y Julieta Churchills is the cigar behind the name. Sir Winston Churchill was such a devoted smoker of this marca that Habanos honoured him with the vitola that now defines the large format everywhere in the world. Rolled in the Julieta No. 2 factory size at 178 mm (7″) with a 47 ring gauge, it remains the definitive Cuban Churchill and the flagship of the entire Romeo y Julieta range.

Registered in Havana in 1875, Romeo y Julieta built its reputation on a smooth, aromatic, medium to full bodied style, and the Churchills is its fullest classic expression. Presented in a box of 25, it is a cigar made for the unhurried hour: a full sixty minutes of balanced, cedar led Havana character.
