HABANA CUBA (Agencias) – The Churchills vitola, selected for this special production, is one of the most appreciated, recognized and emblematic of the cigar filigree. It is a perfect choice for those who like medium calibers and taste.
Thus, Romeo and Juliet Churchills (47 x 178 mm long) is presented in tubes, in limited quantities and in a single release. With an aging process of 10 years in perfect conditions of conservation, which has allowed them to gain nuances and complexity without losing their initial organoleptic characteristics.
After a natural aging process, the tobacco has evolved to become rounder and more pleasant to the palate, offering a smoke with a very refined flavor, sweet and woody, thanks to years of rest next to the cedar that protects it inside the tube.
This Habano comes in a protective box that covers its original drawer of 25 units, with a double ring, external stick with the legend “Añejados” and with a vitolina in which the concept is explained. On the bottom of the drawer you can check the weaving date of the Habanos. To this is added an additional stamp with the word “Revisado”, since 100% of the drawers have been opened and the totality of the Habanos have been checked individually.
