Romeo Y Julieta Wide Churchills Single Cuban Cigar 20g

Romeo Y Julieta Wide Churchills Single Cuban Cigar Named after William Shakespeare’s tragic lovers, the origins of Romeo y Julieta as a Havana date back to 1875. The brand rose to international fame during the early years of the 20th Century under the direction of Don ‘Pepin’ Rodriguez, a talented promoter who was amongst the first to recognise the power of the cigar band. During his heyday no less than 20,000 different bands were used in the production of cigars. Winston Churchill was a devotee of the brand and, following his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only been commemorated on a band but also served to describe the marque’s most iconic size – Romeo y Julieta Churchills. With a name like this it is no surprise that many see this as a prime example of the modern trend toward wider ring gauge cigars. One of four Romeo y Julietas to bear the famous Churchill name this is, naturally, the one with the heaviest ring gauge. Length 5 1/4" Ring Gauge 55 Strength Medium Smoking time 45-60 minutes
