The origin of the brand name is well known. It dates from 1875 and was inspired by the master piece of the same name by the English writer William Shakespeare. In the early part of the twentieth century it became internationally renowned, being one of the pioneering brands to use a distinctive band.

Winston Churchill was a devotee of the brand and after his visit to Havana in 1946, his name was not only used on Habano bands, but also lent itself to the famous vitola: Romeo y Julieta Churchills.

In the XXI century, two new references have been added. In 2006, Short Churchills, the robusto that was missing in the brand’s vitolas and then, in 2010, Wide Churchills, for which we now present a Gran Reserva Cosecha 2009 and which was the first to use a 55 ring gauge, ushering in a trend among enthusiasts of thick ring gauge cigars.

Its balanced and aromatic blend, with -filler- and -binder- leaves selected from the Vuelta Abajo* zone (Pinar del Río*), makes Romeo y Julieta the classic medium-bodied Habano.
