About this cigar
Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas — tasting notes and pricing context
The Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas is the working aficionado's daily Cuban. A 5.1-inch Mareva — same dimensions as a Montecristo No. 4 but with the Romeo y Julieta factory's lighter, floral blend — it's the cigar most regularly recommended as a first Cuban beyond the entry-level Quintero and Jose L. Piedra range. Romeo y Julieta is also the brand most strongly associated with Winston Churchill, who reportedly smoked Petit Coronas (or the larger Churchill format named after him) daily for half a century.
The smoke is creamy, buttery, and floral. First third opens with hay and a hint of honey; the middle settles into butter, cedar, and a subtle floral note that's the brand's calling card; the last third stays smooth without ever turning harsh. Smoking time runs 40 to 50 minutes. Across Europe the Petit Coronas is one of the most price-competitive boxes in the Cuban catalogue: £215 at UK retailers, €238 at Germany's Noblego, €245 at LCDH Brussels, CHF 285 at Cigarmust. The £20-30 absolute spread is small but on a daily-smoker SKU it adds up across a year of box purchases.
