Buy Romeo Y Julieta Cigars at Smoke-King

If there’s a brand that has truly earned its stellar reputation, it’s Romeo y Julieta. In the competitive world of cigars, this brand has shown that it deserves its place among the best of the best.

The brand was first developed in Cuba back in 1875 by Inocencio Alvarez and Manin Garcia, who clearly had a talent for producing quality cigars. In the early days, the duo would win awards for the quality of their offerings. As time went by, the brand became bigger and bigger, especially in Europe, where they became known for producing some of the finest cigars Cuba — and thus the world — had to offer.

Cigars admired by Winston Churchill

If you paid any attention whatsoever in history class, you’ll know that Winston Churchill was partial to a cigar. What you might not have known is that his preferred brand was Romeo y Julieta. He tried one of their cigars on a trip to Cuba back in 1946 and never looked back. Back then, the cigar he enjoyed was called the Parejo, but today it’s called the Churchill.

Churchill and Romeo y Julieta’s story is so intertwined (not entirely unlike Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, may we add) that two of the brand’s cigars that Churchill gave to an immigration officer aboard the RMS Queen Mary recently sold at auction for some $5,500. We love smoking cigars, but we think it would be better if those ones remained unlit.
