Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills — tasting notes and pricing context
The Short Churchills joined the Romeo y Julieta Línea Clásica in 2006 to compete with the Cohiba Robustos and Partagás Serie D No. 4 in the increasingly popular 5×50 robusto slot. It uses the same gentle, floral, cedar-forward Romeo blend as the brand's iconic Churchill — and the shorter, thicker format made it a runaway success. Today it's one of the best-selling Cuban robustos by box volume worldwide, and the tubo (aluminum-tubed) presentation is one of the most-shipped Cuban tubed cigars on the market.
The smoke is the gentlest of the major Cuban robustos. First third opens with butter, hay and a faint orange-blossom floral note; the middle drifts into Romeo's signature cedar-and-honey core; the last third delivers a creamy, slightly sweet finish that never gets harsh. Smoking time runs 55 to 70 minutes. The Short Churchills is also one of the price-spread-friendly Cuban robustos: Noblego runs around €625 per box of 25, LCDH Brussels €640, Switzerland's Cigarmust CHF 690 (~€720), Spain's regulated estancos slightly higher at €680. The 8 to 12 percent spread across European retailers is meaningful but not extreme — worth a comparison check, especially for the tubo box format where pricing varies more than the standard SLB.
