It is an expression of love, passion and death. Named after Shakespeare's tragic lovers, it embodies everything that moves the human heart: devotion, desire, loss.

Its creators, the Asturians <strong>Inocencio \u00c1lvarez Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> and <strong>Jos\u00e9 \u201eMan\u00edn\u201c Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, they officially founded the company in 1873 at the <strong>Calle San Rafael No. 87<\/strong>. However, they had already started producing cigars around 1850. It is still unclear why they did not choose a classic Spanish title, but instead favoured Shakespeare's love drama as the eponym. Perhaps it was due to the universal symbolism of love and death - a motif that still accompanies the brand today. This is the interesting Romeo y Julieta story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Romeo-y-Julieta-0-Logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"The historic logo of the Romeo y Julieta brand.

Don Pepin was a brilliant businessman with vision, charm and an exceptional flair for marketing. He soon led the brand to international fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was a pioneer of marketing in the cigar world. On an Atlantic crossing, he asked the famous actress <strong>Mar\u00eda Guerrero<\/strong>, unrivalled in her role as the \u201eLady of the Camellias\u201c, to use her name for one of his brands - charmingly accompanied by flattery and a diamond brooch. She agreed.

Contemporaries described him as \u201eguileless and bold at the same time\u201c - a mixture that gave him freedom, courage and an unshakeable will. The timing of his involvement was risky: Cuba had just survived the War of Independence and the industry was dominated by British and American monopolies. But Don Pepin did not let this deter him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He understood that the success of a brand was not only based on quality, but also on its <strong>Soul<\/strong> - on emotions, stories and symbols. During a reception, he said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eAs Shakespeare said, there is no tale of love sadder than that of Romeo and Juliet.

Production was perfectly organised - with its own fleet of lorries for fast transport to the port.
