If you are looking for a cigar with an effortless draw, with lots and lots of taste i.e. all the flavors of Churchill's favorite cigar with a medium body throughout suitable for all then look no further, this superbly constructed and decadently looking cigar follows the current trend towards the larger ring gauge cigar and once tried i don't think you will ever return to the petit coronas, with an excellent burn and an intoxicating aroma this cigar is an indulgence from beginning to end, ideal for any special occasion or just one and half hours of sheer bliss.

The Ford Mondeo of cigars - capable, reasonably priced, does the job, leaves you wanting a Cuban. :-)
Actually, it's a perfectly reasonable smoke, I'm just spoilt by being introduced to the world of cigars by packs of the Cohiba Siglo II bought back from Cuba by a friend.

A Tight draw is a consequence of the individual cigar roller and not the cigar it's self, any hand made cigar whether Cuban or Non Cuban can have a tight draw especially if the roller is inexperienced and the sad fact is that buying several single cigars especially at the same time will usually come from the same box and same roller so every body takes the same risk and the only indication your cigar may have a hard draw is feeling hard spots or knots especially around the band and cap area.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A PLUGGED HARD TO DRAW CIGAR, When the cigar wrapper is applied starting at the foot and ending at the cap the wrapper is twisted like an old fashioned sweet wrapper, cut then pushed into the end to form a flat surface for the cap to be applied, if too much of twisted wrapper is pushed into the head of the cigar it can become plugged, SO HOW TO REDUCE / ELIMINATE HARD DRAW (1) Try rolling the head and band area between your thumb and four finger for about 30 seconds this may loosen the the plugged tobacco (2)Cut the cigar again further down the cap but above the cap rim (3)If (1

Very let down. Didn't burn well and had a very hard draw. Felt like I was sucking for England but getting nowhere. Have another 3 of these in my humidor
Only hope they are better than this one !!!

I brought a couple of these from Robert Graham in Cambridge (excellent service by the way). Smoked one a few days later, it burnt very evenly and didn't need to be re-lit. A fairly nice taste, lots of smoke,lovely aroma. The cigar was well constructed and a bargain at just £3.70. I will shortly buy the Maduro to try.

I bought this on the back of the Churchill size being named the no.1 cigar of the year 2011, in Cigar Aficionado. I wasn't disappointed. Great smoke, nice flavours and a good price for the quality.
