Good burn throughout the cigar, but medium draw. Discrete citrus and vanilla notes, which move to toasted hints for the second third of the cigar. Nice herbal hints for the last third. Overall, very light in terms of taste. I’d even say too light for a Churchill.
Good draw, very woody at the beginning before it moves to toasty notes. Second third very spicy and a bit dry. Nice notes of nut to finish. Rather uneven burn with a light ash not holding much.

Excellent draw (V cut) and creamy puffs from the very beginning, without going too strong into nutty flavours. A first third with strong notes of cedar and hints of leather (very much to my personal taste). Moving forward notes of dried fruit appear mixed with a persistent cedar. A second third even creamier, with strong notes of vanilla and nuts. Retrohaling at this point, a few citrus notes makes a surprising entrance. Spices slowly appearing as we approach the last third, with green pepper and cloves dominating. At the end, vanilla comes back with notes of black pepper, making you finish this cigar on a toothpick up to the last puff. Overall: excellent smoke, stable burn and great taste. Enjoyed with an excellent 2019 Swiss Pinot noir. Of note, it came straight from the seller’s humidor.
Great cigar with an interesting « story ».
Nice appearance with the two bands and dark wrapper. Excellent draw and burn.
Dominant taste of red pepper, with a background of earth and citrus. Noted of pine tree along the way.
