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 is not as small as it may appear. Although it is the shortest in the brand it has the same ring gauge as that of the famous Churchill developing rich and elegant flavours.
