Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Churchill
AF Gran Reserva Churchill
48 X 7-1/4 Wrapper: Cameroon Binder & Filler: DR Age: 6 months in humidor A very nice looking and well constructed cigar. EMS cammie wrapper with light veining. Pre-light draw was easy with a light and sweet tobacco taste. Burn was straight with no touch-ups required, good volume of smoke. It started out mild with a nice sweet spice character. Just very pleasant all around. The smoke was creamy. This profile dominated the entire first half. During the second half it jumped up a notch on the body (to medium), and the smoke became more chewy than creamy. The spiciness faded and a sweet tobacco character dominated. Burned it to the nub. Smoke time about 1-1/4 hours. Bottom Line: A very pleasant cigar that made for a great smoking experience. Perfect cigar for a summer day relaxing in the hammock. Recommended. |
