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.

NO. 1

A slender Corona that offers good value for its size. Cedar wrapped in an aluminium tube you can take it almost anywhere without fear of damage or loss of condition.

Lots of chocolate with a few hints of walnuts. Good draw, great construction, always a good smoke.

87 / 100

"The draw of this spotty corona is firm, but it still leaves impressions of sweet, creamy coffee, some cinnamon and earth, however, the finish becomes grassy and perfumy..."
