With a history dating back to 1875, the Romeo y Julieta brand forged its prestige early on, earning several gold medals at world exhibitions at the end of the 19th century. Its true transformation into a global icon occurred when it was acquired in 1903 by the entrepreneur José Rodríguez Fernández, «Pepín», whose name became forever linked to the house’s legacy.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s famous play, Romeo y Julieta is also recognized for having defined and popularized the «Churchill» vitola, a classic format bearing the name of the celebrated statesman. Under Fernández’s direction, the brand achieved an unprecedented level of customization and quality, creating thousands of band designs for its most exclusive clients.

Today, after more than a century, the vision and passion of «Pepín» Fernández continue to live on in every cigar. Romeo y Julieta is not only a brand with history but a global benchmark that embodies tradition, excellence, and an unmistakable flavor.
