Romeo y Julieta

Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill

The Cigar

Here is one of the new generation of extra heavy weights which was released in 2010 and remains a unique size in the standard Habanos S.A. portfolio.

VITOLA: Montesco
RING GAUGE: 55
LENGTH: 5 1/4 inches - 130 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Churchill

The Cigar

Romeo’s time honoured star size. The vitola dates from the early 20th century. Churchill permitted his name to be used on it from the mid 1950s. Imposing, statesmanlike; a commanding size that rewards the smoker with richly developing flavours.

VITOLA: Julieta No.2
RING GAUGE: 47
LENGTH: 7 inches - 178 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

The Cigar

For too long there was no robusto in Romeo’s range, so the arrival of the Short Churchill in 2006 proved most welcome. It was the first medium flavoured cigar from Cuba in this popular vitola. Hardly surprising, then that it has been a huge success.

VITOLA: Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 7/8 inches - 124 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Petit Julietas

The Cigar

The factory name tells us the size was designed for intervals at the theatre (Entreactos translates to Between Acts). There are many more reasons for short smoking breaks these days.

VITOLA: Entreactos
RING GAUGE: 30
LENGTH: 4 inches - 102 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Club Kings

They are the first of two, much delayed, products to be released under the new ‘Linea Retro’ range, with a Partagas Capitols slated for a later release.

The retro metal tin has a flip-top lid, activated by pressing the logo on the front, and has been inspired by pocket cigar cases that were much in vogue in the 1970s. The original cases are now much sought after by collectors around the world and can fetch high prices when presented at auction.

The Club Kings are a classic mareva size ( 5⅛” (129mm) x 42) and so will be familiar to fans of the R&J No.2 Tubos, the Cedros de Luxe No.3 or the classic Petit Corona. All of which share the same dimensions.

This new cigar has been rolled to Romeo y Julieta’s classic medium bodied blend and provides a stylish and immanently portable alternative.

It has also been made “Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga”- Totally Handmade with Long Filler – after a careful selection of filler, binder and wrapper leaves from the best tobacco-growing plantation in the Vuelta Abajo area in Pinar del Río, Cuba.

Romeo y Julieta No.3 Tubos

The Cigar

Not as small a cigar as you might think. A decent ring gauge with a length that won’t leave you out in the cold too long. A really useful small cigar.

VITOLA: Coronita
RING GAUGE: 40
LENGTH: 4 5/8 inches - 117 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales

Romeo y Julieta Romeo de Luxe Limited Edition 2013

The Cigar 

Presented in varnished boxes of 10 cigars the Romeo de Luxe projects a feeling of luxury from the moment you pick a box up to the time you place the finished stub of your cigar in an ashtray. A class act from start to finish.

FLAVOUR: Medium 
VITOLA: Capuleto
RING GAUGE: 52
LENGTH: 6 3/8 Inches / 162mm

Romeo y Julieta Petit Churchill

The Cigar

2012 saw the arrival of the third and possibly the last of the additions to Romeo’s famous Churchill line. Petit Churchills join the Short and Wide Churchills to offer a range of heavy girth vitolas for all occasions

VITOLA: Petit Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 inches - 102 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Robusto Limited Edition 2001

The Cigar 

It could be said that this cigar is an antecedent to the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill, a 2006 release and fellow Robusto size. From the Short Churchill came the Wide Churchill and then followed the Petit Churchill. An interesting footnote in the emergence of the Churchill linea.

FLAVOUR: Medium 
VITOLA: Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 7/8 Inches / 124mm

Romeo y Julieta Belicosos

The Cigar

Not a size or shape that is widely associated with Romeo, but it has been around for decades offering a reliable, easy drawing passport to the brand’s elegant, mediumbodied taste.

VITOLA: Campana
RING GAUGE: 52
LENGTH: 5 1/2 inches - 140 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Churchill Reserva 2012

The Cigar

Once one of the largest cigars available, this gentle giant now cuts a decidedly elegant and refined figure. It is at heart a polished cigar full of charm and grace. A wonderful way to celebrate Britain’s most famous cigar smoker.

FLAVOUR: Medium to Full
VITOLA: Julieta No.2 
RING GAUGE: 47
LENGTH: 7 Inches / 178mm 

Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubos

The Cigar

Romeo’s best known and most popular size. A round cigar, as opposed to the pressed Petit Corona, it comes in cedar wrapped in a tube. Medium flavoured elegance ready where and when you want it.

VITOLA: Petit Corona
RING GAUGE: 42
LENGTH: 5 1/8 inches - 129 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Duke Limited Edition 2009

The Cigar 

The same size as the Partagas Serie E No.2 the impressive Duke was well placed to deliver the rounded, subtle aroma of the R&J blend. It may have initially taken a little while to capture the imagination of UK cigar smokers but it became a highly sought-after and well respected cigar. The price has already doubled according to some sources.

FLAVOUR: Medium 
VITOLA: Duke
RING GAUGE: 54
LENGTH: 5 1/2 Inches / 140mm

Romeo y Julieta Maravilla - Year of the Rat 2020

Romeo y Julieta has released a special one-off cigar to celebrate the 2020 Chinese New Year/Spring Festival.

Themed to honour the incoming Year of the Rat, eight Maravillas 8 cigars are presented in a bespoke red lacquered box. Each cigar dressed is with a classic Romeo y Julieta band as well as an additional foot band.  A branded red velvet sleeve completes the presentation.

Each cigar measures 6 1/8” (155mm) x 55 ring gauge and is referred to as a Maravillas No.3 in the factories of Cuba, sharing its dimensions with the extremely popular Montecristo 520 (2012 Edición Limitada).

As the number eight is considered an auspicious or ‘lucky’ number in Chinese culture, the Romeo y Julieta Maravilla 8 is sure to appeal directly to cigar enthusiasts from this part of the world, as well as collectors globally.

The cigar is a Maravilla No.3 vitola, the same as the Montecristo 520 2012 Limited Edition cigar, and are adorned with a second band on the foot featuring an image of a rat. A large vitola, this provides a long, enjoyable smoke.

The cigar was launched at two separate events at The Kerry Hotel in Hong Kong on 13th & 14th November and is now available worldwide. However, quantities are very limited and initial demand has been high so they may not be found on the shelves of UK cigar merchants for very long.

With Romeo y Julieta's balanced and aromatic blend of selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, the brand is the classic medium bodied Habano. The Maravilla has great complexity to the flavour producing a beautiful white smoke. The wrappers used are stunning, and silky smooth, and the strength builds to medium full in the last third.

Length: 6 1/8" 
Ring Gauge: 55
Strength: Medium 
Vitola: Maravillas No. 3

This cigar comes in Boxes of 25's with each cigar wrapped in cellophane.
