Winston Churchill was one of the most devoted smokers of the Romeo y Julieta brand. Ever since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name has not only widely been used on Habanos, but also came to represent the best-known vitola within the brand: the Churchills by Romeo y Julieta.

Petit Churchills (50 ring gauge x 102 mm. in length) is the ideal vitola for anyone looking for an aromatic, balanced Habano flavor to be enjoyed in just 20 minutes. This vitola was designed to complete the current range of the brand by adding a format that has been highly appreciated in recent years by Habanos enthusiasts.

Its great acceptance in different markets are due to ideal dimensions: its ring gauge and moderate length give the cigar excellent combustibility and show flavor nuances of the Romeo y Julieta brand.

The blend is made with leaves from the Vuelta Abajo* (D.O.P) area in Pinar del Río, Cuba. All Habanos are made Totalmente a Mano Tripa Larga, totally hand made with long filler.

This new presentation of the Romeo y Julieta Petit Churchills in a three-pack of aluminium tubes will be available in all markets around the world in the coming weeks.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
