Romeo Y Julieta Cigars - Havanas
Named after William Shakespears tragic lovers, the origins of R&J as a Habano 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, a talented promoter, who was amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his hey day no less than 20,000 different bands were used in production.
Winston Churchill became a devotee of R&J. Since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has been commemorated on a band and used to describe the marques most famous size measuring 7 inches x 47 - the Churchill. Romeo y Julieta's balanced and aromatic blend of selected leaves from t he Vuelta Abajo region make it the the classic medium bodied Habano.
