As I prefer a mild to medium smoke, the R&J Chuchill provides one of the most satisfying experiences. The beauty of any churchill is that its length and breadth of smoke exposure to the leaves better enhances the flavor, and with this cigar, exhibits a consistantly mild, even flavor without being bland or leaving a harsh aftertaste. My only complaint is that, over the years, this cigar has developed a tendancy to burn unevenly, a nuisance requiring inconvenient maintenence. To this end, I have found that a very complete, uniform lighting, followed by an unusually patient, non excessive initial drawing, can better ensure an even burn for the balance of the smoking.
