Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill (Tubos) — 3-Pack
A Trio of Compact Churchills, Tube-Protected
The Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill (Tubos) 3-Pack bundles three individually tubed Short Churchills — a format that condenses the Churchill experience into a 110mm by 50 package. The Short Churchill, sometimes called the Romeo Short, delivers the blend's character in a thick-ring, abbreviated format, and the three-tube presentation makes this an ideal sampler, gift set, or travel companion.
The 50 ring gauge generates cool, generous smoke; the 110mm length keeps the session to a manageable 40–45 minutes. For the smoker who loves the Churchill's blend but can't always spare ninety minutes, the Short Churchill is the answer — and the tubos format ensures each cigar arrives in pristine condition.
Specifications
Tasting Notes
The Short Churchill opens with the full Romeo signature — cedar, hay, and a gentle floral lift — delivered on a cushion of cool, creamy smoke. The 50 ring gauge produces generous volume, and the broader format gives the filler room to express itself. A vanilla-edged sweetness develops through the first third, layered over a toasted-nut foundation.
The second half brings warming spices — nutmeg, a touch of cinnamon — and the cream deepens into a baked-good richness. A whisper of white pepper appears on the retrohale but stays in the background. The finish is medium-long, leaving cedar, cream, and a pleasant residual sweetness. The Short Churchill doesn't have the time to develop the extended narrative of its full-length sibling, but within its compressed timeframe it delivers a remarkably complete experience — all the key Romeo notes, condensed.
Construction
The 110mm x 50 format is robust and forgiving — the wide ring tolerates minor packing variations, and the short length means the burn has little distance to drift. Briones Montoto produces consistent results: the draw is open, the burn line steady, and the ash stacks in substantial, well-defined rings. The aluminium tubes contain cedar liners that protect and lightly aromatise each cigar during storage.
Pairing Suggestions
The Short Churchill's creamy, medium-bodied profile pairs with a broad spectrum. Aged rum, a smooth bourbon, or a milk porter all complement the vanilla and nut notes. For a daytime smoke, a flat white or latte is an excellent match — the coffee's milk mirrors the cigar's creamy texture.
Value Proposition
The 3-pack format offers convenience without the commitment of a full box of 25. It's the ideal way to sample the Short Churchill, to gift a trio of quality Cubans, or to stock a travel humidor. The tubos presentation adds practical value, protecting each cigar in transit.
About the Brand
Romeo y Julieta was founded in 1875 and named for Shakespeare's tragic romance.

Storage & Care
Store the tubed cigars in a humidor at 65–70% humidity. The tubes provide short-term protection but should not replace humidor storage. The 50 ring gauge absorbs moisture readily, so ensure even humidity distribution. Smoke within 12–18 months for optimal vibrancy.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Short Churchill measures 110mm x 50 — shorter and wider than the standard 178mm x 47 Churchill. It delivers the blend's character in a compact, thick-ring format suited to shorter smoking sessions.
Why buy a 3-pack of tubed Short Churchills?
The 3-pack is ideal for sampling the format, gifting, or travel. Each cigar is individually tubed for protection, and the small count avoids the commitment of a full box while offering better per-unit value than singles.
