Description
The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Churchill is a 7 x 50 cigar with an Indonesian wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican long filler, made in the Dominican Republic. The 1875 name marks the year Cigar Coop gives for the brand’s founding in Cuba.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado has rated this exact size at least four times. The latest, 90 points in April 2026 at medium strength, found a toasted profile led by bright citrus and a sweet, cocoa-like edge, with traces of molasses and leather. The October 2023 tasting scored 87 at medium-full, centered on nuts and herbs with some char. Earlier reviews gave it 88 in both 2014 and 2016 at mild-medium, citing cedar, wood, citrus and a walnut or vermouth-like finish.
Who It’s For
- Citrus-and-cocoa fans drawn to the 2026 tasting notes.
- Smokers who want a long Dominican cigar without moving into full strength.
- Reserva Real smokers curious about an Indonesian-wrapped Romeo in the same size.
