Three-Habano Pouch with Wide Churchills, the New Romeo y Julieta’s Churchill, Unveiled

A pouch containing three Wide Churchills, the much-acclaimed new vitola rolled out by the Romeo y Julieta brand, is now available for smokers in the Casa del Habano network around the world.

Its special sizes –unique for this vitola- make the Wide Churchills a particularly luring habano for those smokers who love puffing on thick ring gauge cigars boasting a well-balanced and aromatic blend.

Wide Churchills is a vitola from Romeo y Julieta, a habano brand founded in 1875 whose moniker stems from the like-name literary tragedy penned by author William Shakespeare.

Through the years, Romeo y Julieta has turned out to be one of the best-known and sought-after habano brands, thanks in part to the prestige chipped in by the Churchills vitola.

Churchills brings us back to a whole imagery of Havana and its history. Winston Churchill was one of the staunchest smokers of the Romeo y Julieta brand. Since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name was used not only to spruce up the habano brands, but also to create one of the most celebrated vitolas from that brand: Churchills by Romeo y Julieta.

In 2006, a new vitola called Short Churchills was added to the brand’s portfolio, a move that followed the evolution of consumption habits and wound up being a highly-acclaimed vitola.

In 2010, Habanos S.A. unveiled the new vitola within the Romeo y Julieta portfolio that included the historic name in its denomination: Wide Churchills.

It’s all about a one-and-only format in the realm of Habanos whose sizes have been accepted by smokers who enjoy thick ring gauge cigars with a well-balanced and aromatic blend that’s made up of leaves handpicked by the Vuelta Abajo region.

Today, Romeo y Julieta basks in the world limelight and delivers one of the broadest vitola ranges of the habano brands, all of them rolled totally by hand with long filler, something the Wide Churchills vitola has now enhanced.

This new vitola will delight the true lovers of Romeo y Julieta with an exquisite combination of passion and excellence.
