ROMEO Y JULIETA
Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, Romeo y Julieta's origins as a Havana date back to 1875.
The brand rose to international fame during the early 20th Century under the direction of Don ‘Pepin’ Rodriguez, a talented promoter amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his heyday, more than 20,000 different bands were used in the production of cigars.
Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand, and following his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been commemorated on a band but has also served to describe the marque’s most famous size—Romeo y Julieta Churchills.
Romeo y Julieta’s balanced and aromatic blend of selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone makes it the classic medium-bodied Havana.
Today, Romeo y Julieta is as well known around the world as ever and offers one of the widest ranges of trips larga, totalmente a mano—long filler, totally handmade—sizes of any Havana brand.
PETIT ROYALES
The factory name for cigars this shape is "Caprichos", from the Spanish word meaning "whims". It is produced in the classic medium-bodied R&J blend and is a whim that can happily be indulged in even when time is short.
"Some kinky, gnarly veins riddle the wrapper of this short robusto, but it smokes evenly. Initial herbal, floral and woody notes intensify to show a graham cracker sweetness and a coffee-like mocha finish..."
