Romeo y Julieta is one of the most famous Cuban cigar brands, founded in 1875 in Havana. The brand name is inspired by Shakespeare’s play, reflecting its romantic and elegant character. The brand truly flourished after 1903, when it was taken over by José “Pepin” Rodriguez Fernández, who turned it into a symbol of luxury and gained international recognition. One of the most famous admirers of Romeo y Julieta cigars was Winston Churchill, whose name was later given to one of the brand’s most popular formats. After the revolution, the brand was nationalized but retained its reputation due to its high quality and classic style. Romeo y Julieta cigars are known for their medium strength and complex, balanced flavor, making them an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced smokers.
