The Romeo Y Julieta is an excellent, medium-bodied blend with flavors of oak and coffee and an entrancing aroma.
Named for the lovers in William Shakespeare's tragedy (1596) of the same name. The brand also is traditionally credited with the introduction of the "Churchill" shape in honour of the British leader Winston Churchill. Developed in 1875 by Inocencio Alvarez and Mannín García, this habanos brand immediately showed its quality by winning gold medals in four universal expositions between 1885 and 1900. But it really took off after its acquisition in 1903 by José Rodríguez Fernández, known as "Pepín", who introduced his cigars to the aristocracy and to statesmen, making Romeo y Julieta Cigars an exclusive cigar band for his customers.
