MY REVIEW
I have smoked 3-4 Churchill's this past month. They are an excellent cigar. As soon as they arrived I had to try one and fell in love. I find they are more of a light to medium. A good morning smoke if you have the time for the churchill. I have not had the pleasure of a Rubosto yet.
The wrapper is a light brown connecticut shade that has a silky smooth finish. As I held rolled the cigar in my fingers, I felt a creamy texture. the smell reminded me of a RyJ hermoso.
I like to taste and feel a good cigar for a few minutes, It gives me a sense of what the cigar is about. The initial light was even with thick white smoke. Because these cigars have been aged, it did not give me a harsh taste at all, It started out very mild for the first inch or so, there was a nice earthy taste that did not linger. I had a nice long white ash about 2" before I finally knocked it off.
The flavor enhanced mid way through, almost a cocoa flavor. With each draw the flavors seemed to explode in my mouth as I let the smoke roll off my tongue, creating little smoke rings.
As I got to the last inch, I never tasted any harshness. I smoked this down to about 1/2 an inch and wished there were more. A light earthy taste stayed with me for most of the morning.
I hope this information helps. Don't pass this cigar up. :love:
