Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills take the benchmark Churchill blend and pack it into a shorter, noticeably fatter Robusto, one of the thickest cigars in the entire Cuban portfolio at a 55 ring gauge. It’s part of what reviewers call a brand within a brand: four different Romeo sizes now carry the Churchill name. See the full Romeo y Julieta range if you want to compare Wide Churchills against the brand’s other Churchill-family sizes.
Cigar Aficionado has rated different batches anywhere from 87 up to 96 points, with a 96-point batch and a Top 25 ranking among the results, making this one of the brand’s most consistently praised cigars. Browse our premium cigars category for the rest of the Cuban lineup.
What Does Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills Taste Like?
Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills deliver an earthy, leathery smoke with notes of graham cracker, cinnamon, orange peel, and honey, sometimes shifting toward cocoa, roasted nuts, or caramel depending on the batch. Strength sits medium to medium-full, and the wide gauge gives a slower, cooler burn than a standard Robusto.
If you want the same Churchill-family character in a slimmer, longer format, the standard Romeo y Julieta Churchill is the classic reference point.

How to Enjoy Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchills
Cut just above the cap with a sharp guillotine, since the wide 55 ring gauge needs a clean, generous cut for an even draw. Light slowly and evenly around the whole foot, giving the thick tobacco column time to catch before your first real pull.
The larger gauge burns cooler and slower than a standard Robusto, so it rewards patience over a rushed light. Store it in a humidor at 65-70% relative humidity, and pair it with an espresso or a fine whisky if you want to match the coffee and cocoa notes.
