ROMEO Y JULIETA 

Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Havana 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 heyday no less than 20,000 different bands were used in the production of cigars.

Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand and 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 Churchills.

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 Havana.

Today Romeo y Julieta is as well known around the world as ever and offers one of the widest range of tripa larga, totalmente a mano – long filler, totally handmade – sizes of any Havana brand.

CLUB KINGS

This classic medium-boded Mareva is presented in an old-fashioned cigar tin with a flip-top lid that holds five cigars. This is the first release from the new Linea Retro range with more to follow soon.

91 / 100

"Besides a few kinky veins, this is an attractive, oily and richly colored petit corona with a bold, nutty character that ushers in notes of citrus, dried berries and licorice before the woody finish. Only available in a tin of five cigars at £90 per tin, or £18 per cigar..."
