Description:

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.

A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Romeo y Julieta, a brand steeped in history since its inception in 1875, is named after Shakespeare's iconic lovers. It gained international acclaim in the early 20th century under the innovative leadership of Don 'Pepin' Rodriguez, who was a pioneer in utilizing the cigar band as a powerful branding tool, using over 20,000 different designs.

Winston Churchill's Enduring Legacy

The brand's association with Winston Churchill, who became a devotee after his 1946 Havana visit, is legendary. His name not only adorns a cigar band but also represents the brand's most famous size - the Romeo y Julieta Churchill.

Embracing Modern Preferences

The 21st century saw the introduction of two new sizes. The Short Churchill added in 2006, and the Wide Churchills, launched at the 21st Festival del Habano in 2010, with a 55-ring gauge, reflect the trend for cigars with a stouter girth.

A Flavorful and Accessible Experience

The Wide Churchills use a balanced and aromatic blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, offering a classic medium-bodied Habano experience. This cigar, while similar in taste to the original Churchill, is shorter and more robust, producing a generous amount of smoke. Its spicy, creamy, and earthy flavours are complemented by a leathery note and a peppery twist towards the end, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced smokers.

Romeo y Julieta: A Brand of Global Renown

Today, Romeo y Julieta remains a globally recognized brand, offering the widest range of long filler sizes in any Habano brand. Its commitment to quality and innovation continues to win the hearts of cigar enthusiasts worldwide.
