Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

Description

Romeo y Julieta’s aromatic blend of selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region make it the classic medium-bodied cigar. The Short Churchill is a perfectly balanced, medium flavoured robusto.  It is a perennial bestseller noted for being incredibly consistent. This cigar is an absolute delight from the moment it is lit until the last ash is tapped. We highly recommend it!

Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, the origin of Romeo y Julieta as a cigar brand date back to 1875. The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th century under the direction of Don “Pepin” Fernandez, who was amongst the first to recognize the attraction of the cigar band. During his heyday no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.

Winston Churchill became a devotee of Romeo y Julieta and since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has been commemorated on a band and used to describe the marque’s most famous size – 7 inches x 47 – the Churchill.
