Romeo y Julieta was created as Habanos brand in 1875. Its name originates in the literary tragedy of the same name written by William Shakespeare.

With the passing of the years, Romeo y Julieta has become one of the best known and appreciated Habanos brands, to a great extent due to the prestige that the “Churchills” vitola has contributed to it.

The name “Churchills” brings to our minds a whole imagery of the Habano and its history. Winston Churchill was one of the most devoted smokers of the Romeo y Julieta brand. Since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name was not only used in Habanos rings, but granted to one of the best known vitolas of the brand and of Habanos: Churchills of Romeo y Julieta brand.
