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.

SHORT CHURCHILL

Upon its release in 2006 this cigar became the first medium flavoured robusto from Cuba. This modern shape also proved an ideal way to update the famous association of the Churchill name with Havana cigars. Hardly surprising then that it has gone on to become such a huge success.

Tasting Notes

An easy drawing, medium flavour, light strength cigar that is sweet in taste from the first to the last puff.

----

92 / 100

"Rich in appearance with a reddish tinge to the wrapper. It’s a cedary smoke with a dried fruit midpalate and fresh tobacco finish that carries a slight note of honey..."

Bought a box of 10 of these from Turmeaus Chester early this year, ive now smoked them all so a good time to review. 1 in the box had a tight draw and was difficult to get on with but the other 9 cigars were flawless. Really enjoyable complex flavours and a really easy draw. This brand always stands out for me and just seems to have a greater range of flavour than other brands. Really enjoyed the short Churchill and will potentially treat myself to another box for Christmas.

I bought these on the basis that they would potentially be a shortened version of the full Churchill which is a beautiful cigar and smoke, the cigar it's self looks good with a well defined triple cap, upon lighting the draw was perfect but gradually got tighter, I think these cigars contains an excessive amount of tar that builds up in the cigar reducing the draw, the flavor is of toasted tobacco at first then a fruity citrus taste that ensues to the end, a big problem was severe uneven burning issues which could not be solved by rotating the cigar, I had to keep using my lighter to burn off the uneven rapper, I have smoked 3 of 10 and this has happened to all three cigars, I also think the tar coats the inside of your mouth thus reducing the ability to taste, the cigar also went out twice thus having to relight, to my mind there is no comparison to the full Churchill which I enjoy immensely, the ring gauge is also thicker 50 compered 47 and is a bit intimidating, will smoke another 3 or 4 then put another review on but at the moment I am not to overly impressed with these cigars
