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

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

---- 

89 / 100

"...The draw of this reddish-brown corona is open and substantial without being airy. Nutty notes and spice are at the cigars core, along with cedar and a touch of grass..."

This is a perfect cigar for any time of day, mild/medium strength, spicy with hints of wood, reasonably priced, [given that this is the UK], with a tube, to prevent damage. written by Kevin Hemsley

Im a big fan of the RyJ tubes - some tubed cigars seem to be forever young, but these are always rich and smooth, not to mention in perfect condition. If only they were a tad thicker! written by JM USA

Due to its tube, this little romeo could very well be the perfect anytime cigar. It is smooth enough for the novice but does not disappoint the experienced smoker. written by pete

This is an excellent cigars. A mellow woodyness dominates the cigars flavour with hints of coffee and spice. written by Antony Hunt

Ummmmm. 3/5. I don`t know if I just got an odd one, but the number 2 tubo seems to beat this hands down. Slightly more flavour than a #2, but essentially the same cigar all the way down. Woody, medium flavour and strength - I got an aged one with a slipping band and began to think that it wasn`t perhaps at its` best whilst smoking it. Became "interesting" in the last couple of inches, but I think I`ll stick to the ubiquitous #2 if I want an RYJ tubo in future. written by Dave Francis
