Romeo y Julieta is undoubtedly one of the most recognized premium handmade cigar brands in the world. Founded in Cuba in 1875, the popularity of the brand kept increasing throughout the 19th and early 20^th century.

At the peak of its fame in the early years from 1885 to 1900, numerous gold coins of excellence were awarded to the brand at World’s Fair tasting exhibitions in Antwerp, Brussels, Melbourne, Paris, and Jerusalem.
