Romeo Y Julieta Stopped Being a Tragedy Since 1875
Long after William Shakespeare authored his highly acclaimed tragedy Romeo and Juliet, another company based in Cuba, which is close to Florida in the United States decided to reinstate the name for a different reason altogether. They decided to make use of high-grade tobacco grown in the country to introduce a brand of cigars, which was christened Romeo Y Julieta. This brand has now gained immense popularity is today known as a product manufactured by Habanos SA.
Cigar lovers would definitely not want to be associated with a tragedy when looking forward to having a luxury of this type. Yes, it is possible that they may still go ahead and read the book authored by William Shakespeare when having a Romeo Y Julieta. However, they would be doing so enjoying the luxury of associating themselves with celebrities like Winston Churchill who was said to be a big fan of this product.
Here again the embargo imposed on Cuban products by the United States meant that the brand was not produced by Habanos SA alone. La Romana in the Dominican Republic also markets a brand with the same name but is being produced by Altadis SA, which is known as a division of Imperial Tobacco. However, the popularity of this brand of cigar has not diminished in any way and the Romeo Y Julieta produced by Habanos SA continues to be popular throughout the world.
The brand gained international popularity in the 20th century after the famous promoter Don Fernandez recognized the potential of this product. This is indeed a credible factor because no less than 20,000 brands of cigars were being produced in those days.
Winston Churchill is said to have been an avid fan of this cigar ever since he visited Cuba in 1946. It is to commemorate his visit that a new line of products have also been named after him.
The Romeo Y Julieta has a balanced and an aromatic blend of leaves selected from the Vuelta Abajo which is known as one of the best tobacco growing regions of Cuba. It is the leaves of this region, which has provided recognition to this brand as a classic medium bodied Habano.
Today this product is known all over the world and perhaps offers the widest range of totalamente a Mano, tripa larga which translates to being totally handmade with long filler. In 2006, another brand-name Rrobustos which is also known as the Shorts Churchills of Romeo Y Julieta was introduced for the benefit of cigar lovers.
These brands are available in various presentations and can be chosen by the avid cigar lover for the pleasure they seek from such products.
