The Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill is available as a single in a varnished slide lid box for a limited time only.

The Romeo Y Julieta Stable’s most popular addition is the Wide Churchill. Following the 2006 release of the Short Churchill, the slightly longer and much stouter WIDE CHURCHILL reflects the current trend for heavy ring gauge vitolas. The cigars have the smooth, subtle aromas that are synonymous with the medium-flavored Romeo Y Julieta brand.

R&J as a cigar brand dates back to 1875, after being named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers. Under the direction of Don “Pepin” Fernandez, who was among the first to recognize the appeal of the cigar band, the brand rose to international fame in the early years of the twentieth century. 20,000 different bands were used in production during his heyday.

Winston Churchill became an R&J devotee. 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, the Churchill (7 inches x 47).

The balanced and aromatic blend of selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region makes Romeo y Julieta the classic medium-bodied brand.
