Experience Romeo y Julieta: The Epitome of Cuban Elegance
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are proud to feature Romeo y Julieta, one of Cuba’s most iconic cigar brands. Established in 1875, this legendary name has come to represent balance, sophistication, and timeless charm — a cigar that appeals to both seasoned aficionados and newcomers seeking refined pleasure.
A Legacy of Romance and Refinement
Founded by Inocencio Alvarez and Manin García, Romeo y Julieta quickly gained international acclaim for its exceptional quality and consistency. The brand’s name, inspired by Shakespeare’s famous lovers, evokes a sense of passion and artistry that perfectly mirrors its cigars’ character.
In the early 20th century, under the ownership of José “Pepin” Rodríguez Fernández, Romeo y Julieta became a symbol of Cuban luxury — famously enjoyed by Sir Winston Churchill, whose name now graces the brand’s most celebrated vitola. Today, the brand continues to be handcrafted in Havana, preserving its legacy of balance and distinction.
Tobacco and Craftsmanship
Every Romeo y Julieta cigar is made from the finest tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río, the cradle of Cuba’s greatest leaves. Carefully fermented, aged, and blended, these tobaccos deliver a refined medium-bodied profile noted for its harmony and aromatic depth. Expert torcedores hand-roll each cigar with precision, ensuring an exceptional draw and even burn in every piece.
Typical Tasting Notes
Romeo y Julieta cigars are celebrated for their balance and complexity, offering a symphony of subtle flavours. Expect:
-
Aromas of cedar, roasted nuts, and dried fruit with gentle floral undertones.
-
On the palate, notes of sweet spice, toasted tobacco, and creamy coffee with a smooth, aromatic finish.
The iconic Romeo y Julieta Churchill remains a benchmark of Cuban elegance, renowned for its smooth, fragrant smoke and impeccable balance.
