The History of Romeo y Julieta Cigars

Taking its name from the Spanish translation of the Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo y Julieta was founded in 1875 by Manin Garcia and Inocencio Alvarez. The brand gained worldwide recognition and numerous awards in the early 20th century.

Following the Cuban Revolution and nationalisation of the cigar industry, Cubatabaco took over the production of Romeo y Julieta in Cuba.

Romeo y Julieta Churchill

Among its rich and devoted customer base, there is one that truly stands out, Sir Winston Churchill. One of the brand’s flagship cigars is named in his honour; the Churchill is a long 7” by 47 ring gauge cigar.
