A timeless romance of flavor and tradition.
A Legacy Born in 1875
The Romeo y Julieta brand was founded in Havana in 1875 by Inocencio Alvarez and Manin Garcia. It quickly gained international acclaim, particularly after its acquisition by José Rodríguez Fernández, also known as 'Don Pepin,' in 1903. Under his guidance, the brand flourished, becoming famous for its extensive range of sizes and its dedication to quality, winning numerous gold medals at international exhibitions.
The Aromatic Heart of Cuba
Romeo y Julieta cigars are typically characterized by their medium-bodied strength and a rich, aromatic flavor profile. Aficionados often describe notes of cedar, subtle fruitiness, and a hint of spice, all harmoniously balanced. The construction is consistently excellent, ensuring an even burn and a smooth draw, making for a refined smoking experience that is both accessible and complex.
Churchill's Enduring Favorite
Perhaps the most famous association with Romeo y Julieta is Sir Winston Churchill, who became a devoted admirer during his visit to Havana in 1946. His preference for the brand's longer vitolas led to the creation of the iconic 'Churchill' size, a 7-inch by 47 ring gauge cigar, which remains one of their most popular and recognizable offerings. The brand continues to offer a broad array of vitolas, catering to diverse preferences.
