Romeo y Julieta was founded in 1875 in Havana, Cuba, and named after Shakespeare's famous lovers. It grew into one of the most celebrated names in cigars, with Sir Winston Churchill among its most devoted admirers, and the brand's flagship Churchill size is named in his honor. Today the non-Cuban Romeo y Julieta is crafted in the Dominican Republic under Altadis U.S.A., carrying on a tradition of smooth, refined, and approachable cigars.
