The Churchill cigar size, with its rich history, began in the early 20th century at the Romeo y Julieta Factory. Initially designed for French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, this size, known as ‘Clemenceau’, symbolized luxury and enjoyed production until the late 1980s.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s preference for these cigars during World War II made them famous. The Romeo y Julieta Factory supplied him personally, leading to the size’s renaming as ‘Churchill’ in 1947.
Characterized by a parejo shape, 47 ring gauge, and a 178 mm length, the Churchill size stands as a classic in cigar craftsmanship. Post-1980, vitola standardization across factories labeled this size as vitola 609 or Julieta 2.
Leading brands like Partagas, Punch, and Hoyo de Monterrey have embraced the Churchill model, producing identical size cigars. This adoption underlines the size’s appeal and status.
In essence, the Churchill cigar size isn’t just a choice for enthusiasts; it’s a journey through cigar history. It symbolizes tradition, elegance, and quality commitment. Its popularity among top cigar brands and aficionados speaks to its timeless charm and superior smoking experience.
