5/5
Full-bodied but smooth — just know where it builds
A really excellent cigar. Full-bodied but mellow at the same time, which is a hard balance to pull off, and complex throughout. The Churchill gives you a long, relaxed smoke. Worth knowing: it thickens up noticeably after the halfway point, and the final third carries a serious nicotine load. Nothing unpleasant — the flavor stays wonderful right to the end — but smoke it after a meal rather than on an empty stomach, and take your time through the last third. One of the better cigars I’ve had for the price.
