Named after William Shakespeare's tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Habano date back to 1875.

The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th Century under the direction of Don 'Pepin' Rodriguez, a talented promoter, who was amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his hey day no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.

Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand. Following his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been commemorated on a band but it has also served to describe the marque's most famous size - Romeo y Julieta Churchill.

The 21st century has seen the arrival of two additional sizes using the name. The first called Short Churchill, a robusto size that had been missing from the range, was added in 2006. The second launched as the 21st Festival del Habano in 2010, was Wide Churchills, which boasts a 55 ring gauge to mark the trend amongst enthusiasts for stouter girth vitolas.

Romeo y Julieta's balanced and aromatic blend of selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone make it the classic medium bodied Habano.

Today Romeo y Julieta is well known around the world as ever and offers the widest range of long filler sizes in any Habano brand.

Tasting Notes

The aroma is beautiful, and the construction and burn were flawless. The intoxicating and decadent vanilla and cream combination is the most unforgettable. One hell of a smoke.

90 / 100

"...Sweet and fruity with notes of coconut and cedar. There's an earthy undertone as well, but the smoke is a bit thin from the firm draw..."

A bit overpriced when considering some of the better Churchills available. With that said, these are still very fine smokes, and should not be overlooked as such. written by mmeadows

A mild churchill, ideal for someone who likes big cigars that are not very strong. Recomended for begginers in the coronas and big coronas categories. written by Carlos de Aguiar

Er. Um. Ah. Well. Three stars. Somehow you`d expect something more for the price. Really, only slightly more complex than a Number 2 Tubo and - somewhat of an inferior smoke to it, to be honest. It`s one of those cigars you start off with high expectations of, then labour through - doesn`t jump up and grab you like it should. Half way through I was already looking at it with deep suspicion. On the positive side, it`s a good Churchill for the beginner - the ideal "wedding cigar" (or would be if the price was lower) but- when you look down and it`s burning at a 45 degree angle and you`re having to saw your way through a cigar you`re not particularly enjoying.. it`s not going to make it onto the top ten list. Five stars for anticipation, three for effect, one for price. Sorry, RyJ, have to do better than this ! written by Dave Francis

Recently came back to these after discovering some very old ones in a tobacconists where they had NO idea of the age - or the price. ;-))))))) Interestingly, mine had the Prince of Wales bands, not the standard gold one. I`m pretty puzzled about that, but maybe someone can explain to me if RyJ tubo Churchills ever had the old "Large Romeo y Julieta" band on them ? All I can say is that these tubos VASTLY improve if they`re left for several months in a humidor. Remember. Tubos are made more for the mass market, not for connoiseurs, and this is not designed to be a stogie which offends members of the public who buy these for birthdays and weddings. For a light cigar, these are a very pleasant, subtle smoke but the occaisional dry tubo can make for an unpleasant experience. Draw can be more than a little on the tight side, making the cigar taste even lighter - did someone say "Silk Cut" ? I`d certainly not pass down an RyJ Churchill if one was offered around, and the few I have in my humi will be replaced when smoked. For what they are - an inoffensive, light flavoured subtle cigar designed for a wide audience - they`re fine. written by Dave Francis

Very mild, tarred up before half-way resulting in a hard draw with little smoke, and had to cut again. Untaxing. written by Andy Mellor, GBR
