Tasting Notes
Rich, complex Cuban flavors with notes of earth, cedar, leather, and spice.
Romeo y Julieta Churchill: Not Your Grandfather’s Cuban (But Maybe It Should Be)
Here’s the thing everyone gets wrong about the Romeo y Julieta Churchill – people think it’s some kind of beginner’s Cuban, like training wheels for your palate before you graduate to the “serious” stuff. That’s complete nonsense, and frankly, it pisses me off when I hear it at my local B&M.
I’ve been smoking these beauties for over two decades now, and let me tell you something: this cigar has more character than half the boutique brands charging twice the price. Winston Churchill himself wasn’t exactly known for settling, was he? The man smoked 8-10 cigars a day (imagine that insurance premium), and RyJ was his go-to. There’s a reason for that.
First Light: When Expectations Meet Reality
The Romeo y Julieta Churchill comes in that classic 47 ring gauge, 7-inch format that Churchill popularized. Right off the bat, you’re looking at about 90 minutes of smoking time – sometimes more if you’re not rushing things (which you shouldn’t be). The wrapper’s usually a nice Colorado shade, though I’ve seen some variation batch to batch. That’s just Cuba being Cuba.
First impressions? The pre-light draw gives you this subtle sweetness mixed with that distinctive Cuban hay note. Nothing too aggressive – it’s almost teasing you. I always tell people: if your pre-light draw is screaming at you, something’s wrong. This one whispers.
The initial light – and this is crucial with any Churchill-sized stick – needs patience. I see guys torching these things like they’re lighting a campfire. Wrong move. Take your time, toast that foot evenly, and let the cigar tell you when it’s ready. With the RyJ Churchill, you’ll know because that first draw comes smooth as silk.
The Flavor Journey (My Way, Not Some Textbook BS)
Forget all that “first third, second third” crap you read everywhere. Cigars don’t follow a script, and this one definitely doesn’t. What I will tell you is how it typically evolves for me, sitting on my back porch with my evening bourbon.
The opening act is all about subtlety. You’re getting cedar notes (classic RyJ signature), some light leather, and this creamy undertone that’s just gorgeous. It’s not punching you in the face – this cigar has manners. My buddy Jake calls it “sophisticated without being pretentious,” and that’s probably the best description I’ve heard.
As you work your way through (and again, don’t rush this), the profile starts building complexity. More leather comes through, some coffee bean action, and occasionally – not always, mind you – I pick up this fantastic cocoa note. The sweetness stays throughout, which is something RyJ does better than most other Cuban marques, in my opinion.
Here’s where it gets interesting: around the halfway point, the cigar usually hits its stride. The flavors marry together instead of just existing side by side. That’s when you know you’re smoking good tobacco that’s been properly aged. I’ve had some that were absolutely singing at this point, and others that were just… pleasant. That’s the gamble with Cuban cigars, isn’t it?
The final stretch (let’s call it the last two inches before you’re burning your fingers) is where the Churchill size really pays off. While smaller cigars are getting hot and bitter, this beauty maintains its composure. The flavors concentrate but don’t turn harsh. It’s like the cigar is giving you one final argument for why Churchill preferred this format.
What to Drink With It (Actual Brands, Actual Experience)
I’ve paired this cigar with everything from coffee to cognac, and here’s what actually works in the real world:
Bourbon: Blanton’s Single Barrel is my go-to. The vanilla notes complement that creamy character beautifully. Buffalo Trace works too if you’re not trying to break the bank. Avoid anything too spicy or high-proof – it’ll overpower the cigar’s subtlety.
Scotch: Macallan 18 if you’re celebrating something (or if money’s no object). For regular occasions, Glenfiddich 15 does the trick. The honey notes play nice with the RyJ’s natural sweetness.
Coffee: This might sound weird, but hear me out. A good medium roast Ethiopian single origin in the morning with one of these? Perfect Saturday ritual. The fruit notes in the coffee actually enhance the cigar’s complexity.
Rum: Since we’re talking Cuban cigars, why not Cuban rum? Havana Club 15 Year if you can find it. The aged rum and aged tobacco are like old friends catching up.
Beer? Honestly, skip it with this one. The carbonation interferes with the flavor profile, and you’re doing yourself a disservice.
Who Should Smoke This (And Who Shouldn’t)
Here’s my controversial take: this isn’t a beginner’s cigar, despite what everyone says. New smokers should start with something shorter and milder. A 7-inch cigar is a commitment, and if you’re not used to nicotine, you might not make it to the good parts.
This is perfect for:
- Experienced smokers who appreciate subtlety over strength
- Anyone who has 90+ minutes to actually enjoy it properly
- People who like classic Cuban flavor profiles (cedar, leather, cream)
- Cigar smokers who prefer construction consistency over flavor adventures
Skip this if you’re:
- Looking for a flavor bomb or something that’ll knock your socks off
- Trying to impress people with strength over elegance
- In a hurry (seriously, don’t waste your money)
- Expecting every single one to be perfect (it’s Cuba, not a Swiss watch factory)
The Insider Stuff Nobody Tells You
Storage is critical with these. I keep mine at 65% humidity, not the standard 70%. The wrapper can get a bit finicky if it’s too moist, and trust me, you don’t want to deal with burn issues on a cigar this size.
Box codes matter more than people think. I’ve noticed the ETP factory boxes tend to be more consistent than some others, but that’s just my experience over the years. Your mileage may vary.
Here’s something most reviews won’t tell you: sometimes these need to sit in your humidor for a few months after you get them. I’ve had boxes that were just okay when I first opened them, but six months later? Completely different cigars. Cuban tobacco is still settling, even after it leaves the factory.
The Churchill size means you need to pay attention to your smoking pace. Too fast and you’ll overheat it. Too slow and it’ll go out on you (and relighting a Churchill is never fun). Find that sweet spot where you’re getting a good draw every 30-45 seconds.
Real Talk: Common Questions
Q: How does this compare to Dominican RyJs?
A: Different animals entirely. The Dominican versions are well-made and consistent, but they lack that distinctive Cuban terroir. It’s like comparing California wine to French – both can be excellent, but they’re not the same thing.
Q: Should I age these further?
A: If you have the patience, absolutely. I’ve got some 2018 boxes that are smoking better now than when I bought them. The cedar notes mellow out and the overall profile becomes more refined.
Q: What about construction issues?
A: Yeah, you’ll occasionally get one with draw problems or burn issues. It’s frustrating but comes with the territory. I’d say about 85-90% smoke perfectly, which is pretty good for Cuban standards.
Q: Are they worth the price?
A: Compared to what? If you’re talking value, you can get more flavor excitement from other Cuban brands for similar money. But if you want that classic, refined Churchill experience with good construction reliability, then yes.
Bottom Line
The Romeo y Julieta Churchill isn’t trying to be the strongest or the most complex Cuban cigar. It doesn’t need to be. What it does is deliver a consistently elegant smoking experience that reminds you why people fell in love with Cuban cigars in the first place.
Is it perfect? No. Will every single one blow your mind? Probably not. But when you want to spend 90 minutes with a well-mannered, classic Cuban that won’t disappoint, this is exactly what you reach for. Churchill knew what he was doing, and so does Romeo y Julieta.
Just don’t smoke it like you’re in a hurry. These cigars reward patience, and if you can’t give it the time it deserves, save your money for something shorter.

Decent churchill but not my favorite from Romeo y Julieta. The Romeo y Julieta Churchill 50’s has good flavor – cream and vanilla – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
