Only bought the one cigar. 58x6.5” Connecticut wrapper. Cigar initially looked good. Before toasting/lighting it was obvious that there were a few cracks and splits near the foot. Parts of the wrapper were cracked along the length of the body. On the whole the build was poor. Upon removing the band some of the wrapper peeled away leaving a fault in the outer construction. The cigar was overly dry and needed to stay in the humidor for quite a while before it was anywhere near close to being ready to smoke. The head of the cigar was brittle and practically disintegrated upon punch cutting. Whilst smoking the filler of the cigar continued to shed tobacco flakes leaving an unpleasant mouth feel. The burn was reasonable until it hit the peeling sections of wrapper.
Sadly I wouldn’t recommend based on this cigar alone.
Taste wise it was robust and peppery. Sweet aftertaste on the draw however due to the state of the cigar it was unpleasant. Not recommended based on this one cigar. Bearing in mind that I only ordered one cigar it could be that I was unlucky. However as the cigar was

5 star quality knife. Looks good and feels good but the design is such that it does not make a good pipe knife. They have taken one of their standard designs of knife and rounded off the blade point. A tamper has been added to the end but it is too close to the knife body. This means that the tamper cannot reach far enough into the pipe bowl on most pipes without jamming against the pipe bowl rim. I would recommend it only for larger pipe bowls. Disappointing for the price.

Just smoking my second wide Churchill this year as I write this, I’m not an experienced smoker but I’ve enjoyed both with a nice glass of scotch.
I will be ordering more.

I love this cigar but I’m bitterly disappointed that it has been sent by Cgars with the binder cracked and coming apart. The packaging was fine so it was clearly packed like this. Expected more when paying this much for a nice Churchill.

Not cheap, (with UK taxes what is?) but what a nice surprise!! Lit about 20 minutes before I went out to empty Dogface, had a good hours walk and came home to enjoy the rest , with a nice whiskey and a cold Bud, perfect!
Quite a mild cigar, Im getting used to a larger ring gauge, a more heavy smoke, but this was lovely, good draw, no issues whatsoever, no wrapper problems after I got her going and touched up the burn, CGars almost never let me down except for some of the Cubans I dont buy anymore. Highly recommended for a nice long puff, mild to the end and a nice, memorable taste on the lip, Ill be keeping a couple in my humidor for days like today. Highly recommended for a nice long walk of the dig, or a good movie on the TV. Cant give it a five but near as damnit.

First let me thank Rocky Patel, and (The Nicaraguan people) so much for this great Cigar.
full body, the draw, burn, and construction are amazing. Varied bouquet of Flavors, aromas, and after tastes.. Such as ... woody, leather, coffee, chocolate, sweet, black pepper, roasted nuts, and rich smoke. I will make sure keeps a large number of these woooow fancy sticks in my cigar humidors. Thank you so much C.GARS , Michelle Adler for all excellent choices and services. ✨
