Although founded in 1875 it wasn't until 1903 when the marque was promoted by its new owner "Pepin" Fernandez Rodriguez that the cigars achieved notoriety, particularly in Britain. He travelled widely, raced his horse "Julieta" all over Europe and produced the widest selection of personalised cigar bands for celebrities of his day. The famous Churchill with its distinctive gold band remains a classic medium to full bodied cigar. During the past four years we have been fortunate enough to sample a range of Limited Edition cigars encompassing the 2002 Robustos, Hermosos Nos. 1 & 2. and Petit Piramides from 2005. But most recently we have seen the release of the new Robusto Short Churchill both Tubed and Untubed.
Romeo y Julieta Escudos - Limited Edition 2007 / Box of 25
Ref: 1022
5.5" Ring Gauge: 50
This new Limited Edition Romeo Y Julieta for 2007 is similar in stature to the Edmundo from Montecristo. The Escudo is a large Robusto size the tobacco leaves for which have been specially aged in bales for a minimum of 2 years. A review of how it smokes will be posted in the review section shortly.
Possibly inspired by the short - lived Flor de Cano "Short Churchill" 1987-1992 this mild, fragrant and approachable cigar will prove to be a big hit with those who desire a Havana that isn't too strong on the palate !
Worth trying in affordable boxes of just 10 cigars !
