Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills - 25 cigars [5.1" x 55]
The format of this Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills appeals to present-day smokers for a shorter and smoother smoke.
- • Notes of orange peel, wood, roasted hazelnuts and hints of leather abound.
- • Delicious aromas of cedar, nuts, spices and some dark fruits notes.
- • Very smooth smoke that is never over powerful.
In short, the Wide Churchill is comparable to the best phase of the Churchill.
Presentation
The Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills comes in a dress box of cedar of 25 cigars with Habanos Packing Code CB-UW-C/L-12,13-n-25
Dimensions:
Length: 130mm
Diameter: 21.83mm
Ring Gauge: 55
Shape: Montesco
Appearance:
The wrapper is as perfectly rolled as possible, the triple cap is flawless and with no visible seams. The cigar has a beautiful colorado claro tone, like milk chocolate and it is sporting a special golden band that reads “Wide Churchill”.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
The puff before lighting up the cigar is very easy and pleasant. There is a discreet taste of tobacco to it.
Burn/ Draw
The construction of the Wide Churchill is superb, as the effortless draw reveals it and as the burn does not require any attention. About an inch of dark ash holds on strongly at the foot of the cigar. Generous billows of smoke are generated at each puff and the smoke tastes of earth and minerals.
Initial third:
There is no warm-up session with the Wide Churchill. It strikes right off the bat with big clouds of smoke and a creamy taste of tobacco that gives a hint of all the flavors yet to be released. The first third is dominated by some sturdy nuts flavors, such as cashews, pecans and walnuts
Middle third:
In the second third, the cigar reveals its complexity and richness as some fruity and spicy flavors emerge, black currant and nutmeg that is. The nutty aromas are going to the background. It is a great middle third, the ash becomes much whiter and the burn line that was uneven because of the large cigar gauge starts to straighten.
Final third:
To be able to smoke the final third, you need to peel the “Wide Churchill” band off. And then you meet again the flavor profile of the first third, dominated by smooth aromas of nuts and punches of spices. There is no need to put down the cigar as it never gets too hot, and it’s a delight to enjoy it to the nub.
In summary, the Wide Churchill is a wonderful Habanos of perfect construction, very rich and never too powerful.
Smoking time:
45 - 90 Minutes

Delightful
, 5/24/2024
By HP2 - Picked up my first box of R&J wide Churchill from Cigarterminal. Opened the box and got a beautiful fragrance of barnyard and a tad bit of ammonia. Fantastic fragrance, if you ask me. Lit one up and got loads of smoke and the flavor lingers on your palate. Very pleased with my first box. And shipping was quick and perfect. Cigars were in fantastic condition when they arrived. Thank you Cigarterminal. Always a pleasure getting cigars from you!

An outstanding Cuban Robusto

By AXK - One of the best Cuban Robustos available. Perfectly medium bodied with notes of cream and cedar, a smooth draw and generally flawless construction. These Wide Churchills in particular seem typically to be good to smoke fresh out of the box, which is somewhat unusual since generally speaking most Cuban cigars require several years of aging before really being ready to smoke. Having purchased 3 or 4 boxes of these Wide Churchills from Cigar Terminal thus far, they've been delicious each time.

Quickly becoming a favorite.

By Chris - The Wide Churchill is a hair longer and wider than the usual robusto size but I will put this up against any other. Starts mid-strength and works it’s way to full in the last third. It retains the classic Cuban profile all the way from beginning to end. It’s a great way to end (or begin) a beautiful summer evening.

By Abdullah - I may say that this is one of the best choices if you have min 1 hr and you like mild-to-strong taste Cuban cigars. It has great taste, and also the best quality to price ratio! I strongly recommend you always keep some in stock.
