Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill & Hine Cigar Reserve XO Gift Set

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill & Hine Cigar Reserve XO Cognac Gift Set

Sir Winston Churchill was famously devoted to both Romeo y Julieta cigars and fine Hine Cognac. While he may never have tried these particular modern expressions, this gift set brings together two luxuries he would no doubt have approved of – an hour of true Churchillian indulgence.

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

• Vitola: Robusto

• Length: 4 7/8"

• Ring Gauge: 50

• Strength: Medium

• Packaging: 1 Single Tubed Cigar

• Smoking Time: Approx. 45 minutes

Named after Shakespeare’s lovers, Romeo y Julieta has been a Havana icon since 1875. The brand rose to global acclaim under Don “Pepín” Rodríguez, who popularised the decorative cigar band and made Romeo a symbol of refinement.

Winston Churchill’s loyalty to the brand cemented its legacy. Following his 1946 visit to Havana, his name was commemorated not only on a band but also in one of the marque’s most famous vitolas – the Churchill.

The Short Churchill, introduced in 2006, brings that same classic balance of cedar, nuts, and subtle spice into a robusto format. With a harmonious medium-bodied blend from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo, it is as aromatic and elegant as it is satisfying.

Hine Cigar Reserve XO Cognac

• Ageing: Over 12 years in Hine’s Jarnac cellars

• Blend: More than 20 eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois

• Profile: Rich, complex, yet refined

Created by Bernard Hine and Nicholas Freeman, the late Chairman of Hunters & Frankau, the Cigar Reserve XO is a Cognac crafted specifically to pair with Havana cigars. Its depth, structure, and subtle sweetness harmonise beautifully with the earthy, aromatic profile of Romeo y Julieta. Complex enough to stand alone, it becomes truly exceptional when paired with a fine Habano.

Why choose this set?

• A prestigious Cuban cigar matched with a Cognac designed for pairing

• A tribute to Churchill’s love of Romeo y Julieta and Hine

• Approx. one hour of refined indulgence

• Presented as an exceptional gift or personal treat

The Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill & Hine Cigar Reserve XO Gift Set is more than a pairing – it’s a celebration of heritage, balance, and timeless luxury.
