The brand, with its origins dating back to 1875, was named after Shakespeare’s tragic lovers. It was a firm favourite of the Torcedores (rollers) and was read to them whilst they worked in the factories.
Winston Churchill became a devotee of the brand after a visit to Havana in 1946. This size cigar, a Coronita, is not as small as it may appear.
Much narrower in ring gauge and shorter than that of the famous Churchill, it still develops rich and elegant flavours but in a slightly more concentrated way on the palate.
