Romeo y Julieta Cigars

About Romeo y Julieta Cigars

From the very beginning of the brand in the late 1800s, the quality of their cigars was undeniable. Founders Inocencio Alvarez and Manin Garcia would frequently enter their cigars into tasting exhibitions and leave with the gold medal. In fact, many of these medals can still be found on Romeo y Julieta’s packaging, paying homage to their origins. Soon their success caught the eye of José "Pepin" Rodriguez Fernández, and he acquired the company in 1903.

In the years to come, the brand began booming in popularity. Suddenly aficionados across the Americas wanted to get their hands on Romeo y Julieta cigars. Their success even spanned the Atlantic, cracking into the European market. In fact, it was a European who ended up being one of their most emphatic and high-profile supporters: Winston Churchill.
