David Winston Churchill - The Late Hour
Out of all the tycoons who smoked cigars, none were more influential than Winston Churchill. His love of Romeo y Julieta Cubans was so renowned that Davidoff decided to honor him with this premium release. Despite having a Habano Ecuadorian Oscuro wrapper, the Dominican Visus filler has a noticeably Scottish touch. This is due to the fact that Visus leaves are aged for six months in Speyside single-malt whisky barrels. The complex mixture of coffee, black pepper and sweet flavors make this cigar an adventure to smoke. Salute the British Bulldog with this undeniably solid release!
Flor de Las Antillas
While Cuba used to be referred to as the “Flower of the Antilles”, there’s a new champion in town. The My Father cigar factory in Nicaragua is making a valiant attempt to claim the title for best cigar producer in the world. The factory is run by José “Pepín” Garcia and supervised by his son, the master blender Jaime Garcia. Equipped with a sun-grown wrapper, double binder, and Cuban seed filler, this box-pressed Nicaraguan puro showcases what Garcia learned in Cuba. Its sweet hints of cedar, earth and cocoa are tantalizing enough to reconnect any smoker with nature!
