Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

A thick modern take on the Romeo Churchill. Plenty of smoke, plenty of time, with a creamy floral profile in a hour-and-a-half format.

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.

    Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills compare to other Romeo y Julieta cigars?

    Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills is a Montesco, ring 55, 130 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 25. The other Romeo y Julieta vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas, Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills, Romeo y Julieta Churchill, Romeo y Julieta No. 1 Tubos. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills likely to drop?

    Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

    Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
