Romeo y Julieta is one of the most recognisable and best-loved Cuban cigar brands, known for its approachable medium strength and refined balance. Offering over 40 different vitolas, the brand combines consistency, elegance, and history - making it an enduring favourite for both beginners and experienced aficionados.
History
Founded in 1875 by Inocencio Álvarez and Mannín García, Romeo y Julieta quickly gained acclaim for quality and consistency. The brand’s reputation was cemented under José “Pepín” Rodríguez Fernández, who travelled the world promoting the marque and securing its place in cigar history. The cigars won numerous gold medals between 1885 and 1900, further boosting their prestige.
Romeo y Julieta’s most famous association came in the mid-20th century, when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill became a devoted smoker of the brand. In tribute, the factory created the legendary “Churchill” vitola, which remains a flagship size to this day.
