The tragedy of the lovers of Verona, written by William Shakespeare, was to inspire the name, Romeo y Julieta, of this brand of Habanos created in 1875. Over the years, the brand has established itself as one of the best-known and best-loved Habanos. This reputation is largely due to the legendary "Churchill" vitola. Winston Churchill was one of Romeo y Julieta's most ardent devotees. During his visit to Havana in 1946, his name was not only the subject of a commemorative ring, but was also attributed to one of the brand's most famous models, the Churchill.
Product Detail
The Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill is the next cigar to receive the Reserva treatment. Habanos S.A. announced the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill Reserva Cosecha 2019 as the 2024 Cigar of the Year for the company's Gran Reserva/Reserva series. Like other Gran Reserva and Reserva releases, it is a special, aged version of a regular production cigar. This cigar has a vitola of Ø50 and 124 mm. Tobacco from the 2019 harvest and from the Vuelta Abajo region in Pinar del Río was used for this edition. The tobacco is aged for three years and the cigars themselves are aged much longer than most Habanos. Each year, Habanos S.A. selects a single cigar from the regular production of one of its major brands, which is designated as a Gran Reserva or Reserva. In addition to their longer maturation period, these cigars bear a second or third band identifying them as Gran Reserva or Reserva.
