As a newbie, I suppose that i can best contribute by giving my impressions on the few cigars that I have experienced as of yet. I actually shared this Romeo y Julieta Churchill, my first and only ISOM, with an incredibly generous friend.
7" x 47RG
The smoke was medium in body, wonderfully smooth, and I could detect some woody and leathery notes. There was certainly that oft described 'twang' manifested in hints of sweetness and spice. Unfortunately, my friend was a bit overzealous with the cutter, and the wrapper began to unravel, but we avoided letting it detract from our enjoyment. After over an hour had passed, we nubbed it once it began getting slightly hot with about an inch remaining.
In terms of absolute quality, I suppose this could be compared to, for instance, a Padron 1964. However, it is completely dissimilar and unique flavor profile that sets this, and I assume other ISOMs, apart from NC cigars. I absolutely enjoyed this and would like to express great gratitude to my friend who allowed me to share in this experience. Hopefully, I will one day be able to again smoke something like this.
