About this cigar
Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills — tasting notes and pricing context
The Wide Churchills was added to the Romeo y Julieta Línea Clásica in 2010 as Habanos's response to a decade of demand for larger ring gauges. At 5.1 inches by a chunky 55 ring (Habanos calls the shape Montesco), it's noticeably wider and shorter than the brand's signature Churchill, and the thicker ring gauge delivers more smoke per puff while keeping the burn temperature manageable. The blend is Romeo's signature creamy, floral, honeyed profile — lighter than Partagás, less sweet than Hoyo — and the Wide Churchills format suits it well by giving the lighter blend more air around it.
Flavor arc is gentle but layered. First third opens with butter, honey and a faint hay note; the middle settles into cedar and white pepper with a touch of toasted bread; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly floral finish that rarely turns harsh. Smoking time runs 75 to 90 minutes. The Wide Churchills is consistently in stock across European retailers, which keeps the price spread narrow: Noblego runs roughly €625 per box of 25, Belgium's Cigar Smoker Club €640, Cigarmust CHF 690 (~€720). The €100 absolute spread is typical for a daily-smoker SKU — small per box but it adds up across the four or five boxes a regular Wide Churchills aficionado works through each year.
