Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, Romeo y Julieta as a Habano dates back to 1875.

The brand rose to international fame in the early years of the 20th century under the leadership of Don ‘Pepin’ Rodriguez, a talented promoter who was among the first to recognize the power of the cigar band. During his heyday, no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.

Winston Churchill became a follower of the brand. After his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been memorialized on a band, but it has also served to describe the brand’s most famous character – Romeo y Julieta Churchill.

The 21st century has seen the arrival of two additional sizes using the name. The first one called Short Churchill, a robusto size that had been missing from the range, was added in 2006. The second, launched as the 21st Festival del Habano in 2010, was Wide Churchills, which boasts a 55 ring gauge to mark the trend among enthusiasts for more powerful perimeter vitolas.

Romeo y Julieta’s balanced and aromatic blend of selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone make it the classic medium-bodied Habano.

Today, Romeo y Julieta is well known worldwide as always, offering the widest range of long fill sizes of any Habano brand.
