About this cigar
Romeo y Julieta's 1875 line reaches back to the brand's founding moment in Havana, and this White edition delivers the aesthetic restraint and refined character that made the original legendary. Wrapped in a creamy Connecticut shade leaf, the Churchill fills out with a perfectly balanced blend that avoids the heaviness some expect from this larger format. You get meadow grass and subtle vanilla on the first third, shifting into cedar and a whisper of cocoa as the burn progresses, all without overwhelming the palate. This is a cigar for the seasoned retailer who stocks for customers with seasoned tastes. The Churchill vitola gives it presence without demanding the better part of two hours, making it the thoughtful choice after dinner when a quick smoke won't do but a full production isn't welcome either. Pair it with a quiet whiskey or a smooth rum, or position it as the house Churchill for clients who've outgrown the blunter American offerings. At ten per unit, the 1875 White rounds out any serious range with accessible authenticity.
