ROMEO Y JULIETA

History of ROMEO Y JULIETA

Founded in 1873, the Romeo Y Julieta brand once printed over 2,000 cigar bands! The "Romeos" are one of the most well-known and popular of all of the Havana brands. Over 40 shapes and sizes are produced under this brand, some of which are considered the very best in their size. Romeo y Julieta cigars have won gold medals worldwide for both taste and quality. With so many different sizes and so much pressure on production due to worldwide demand, it is especially impressive that the entire brand continues to be appreciated as one of absolutely top quality. Of particular repute are the Churchill sizes. As always, a large box (25 or 50) of untubed cigars (there are many tubed versions) is an excellent choice, although Romeo Y Julieta tubed cigars are also among the best available. The brand is also credited with introducing the "Churchill" shaped cigar, in honor of the famed warrior and British Prime Minister. British lore claims that when Prime Minister Churchill would meet with foreign heads of state, he would insert a straightened paperclip through the length of his cigar. As his cigar ash would grow longer and longer but not fall, it is said that Churchill would unnerve his often-hostile guests, allowing him to gain an upper hand during delicate negotiations. With so many varieties of cigars one cannot describe all the variations of flavors acheived by Romeo Y Julieta, however, a distinct trait of a Romeo Y Julieta cigar could be that it has been able to adapt to the changes in epicurian fashions over the centuries.

  • Vitola: Petit Corona
  • Strength: Light
I like these unassuming, unpretentious and modest Petit Coronas. They are constructed thoughtfully and tick over like a Mercedes with a consistent draw and regular burn. I admire the herbaceous qualities it displays because it is unashamedly herbie and not many sticks are bold enough to be so committed to one aroma. Add to this the fact that this Petit Coronas is powerful and you get a Cuban cigar that I think goes well with herb teas such as Camomile and mint. This cigar is highly underrated and I would love it if more people were trying it, the surprising thing is that it will make your palate develop thus enhancing any other smoking experience you have.
