Romeo y Julieta

Founded in 1873, the Romeo Y Julieta brand once printed over 2,000 cigar bands! The "Romeos" are one of the most well-known and popular of all of the Havana brands. Over 40 shapes and sizes are produced under this brand, some of which are considered the very best in their size. Romeo y Julieta cigars have won Gold Medals worldwide, for both taste and quality. With so many different sizes and so much pressure on production due to worldwide demand, it is especially impressive that the entire brand continues to be appreciated as one of absolutely top quality. Of particular repute are the Churchill sizes. The brand is also 'credited' with introducing the "Churchill" shaped cigar, in honor of the British Prime Minister (some claim the Vitola de Galera was named after Churchill after his visit to the Punch factory).
