A Commemorative Bonbon Worthy of Royal Tastes

The creation of this exquisite bonbon was no ordinary endeavor. Using a cutting-edge distillation process pioneered by the renowned three-Michelin-starred restaurant El Celler de Can Roca, Heesterbeek meticulously extracted the aromatic essence of Romeo y Julieta cigars, preserving their rich tobacco complexity. This extract was then harmoniously fused with Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky and the world’s finest French Valrhona cocoa, resulting in the ‘Winston 150’ bonbon—a sensory tribute to one of the most influential figures in modern history.

As a symbol of refined luxury and historical reverence, only 500 exclusive boxes of the Winston 150 bonbon were produced, each containing ten meticulously crafted pieces. Recognizing the unparalleled significance of this creation, the Dutch Consumer Product Safety Authority granted a rare one-time approval for this limited edition, given the subtle tobacco traces inherent in the bonbon’s composition.

The first five boxes of this exclusive collection were reserved for distinguished figures deeply connected to Churchill’s legacy: Sir Nicholas Soames, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, His Majesty King Charles III, Academy Award-winning actor Gary Oldman, and U.S. President Joe Biden.

Presented to an elite circle of connoisseurs, from Buckingham Palace and the Élysée Palace to the White House and the world’s most prestigious cigar lounges, this creation has set new standards in luxury confections, earning admiration across royal and diplomatic circles.
