DTT Sobremesa Short Churchill

DTT Sobremesa Short Churchill Review

Parejo, 4.75x48
Wrapper: Ecuador Habano Grade 1 Dark Rosado
Binder: San Andres Negro
Filler: Nicaragua and Pennsylvania

Construction: Very even, consistent, smooth. Heavy in the hand, no soft spots. Curls of black ligero visible at the foot. Wrapper a lovely dark Rosado, lightly veined, slight sheen of oils. Beautiful!

Pre-light aromas: Cocoa, cedar, lush sweet tobacco.
Pre-light flavors: Earthy/woody, leather, slight molasses sweetness from the wrapper. Draw is perfect, just the right amount of resistance.

First draws: Dark wheat toast with a hint of honey and cinnamon,. Rich notes of cedar and cocoa with a slight black pepper bite. Full side of medium body…I may have wanted to wait until after dinner to burn this one! Finish is long, smooth, with woody/cedar notes.

First third: Ash mottled light/dark gray, a bit flaky, very firm. Even burn, not requiring touch-ups. Flavors consistent with first draws, with that quality Nicaraguan tobacco lushness coming through.

Second third: Deep, dense mouthfuls of smoke with gentle draws. Flavors deepening while remaining consistent. Very smooth, excellent.

Final third: Basically more of the same. Never turned bitter or tarry, remained excellent without demanding purging, pleasant from start to blistered fingertips.

Smoking time: 90 minutes.

Scores (Using the Cigar Weekly scale):

Appearance and Construction 5/5
Burn 4.5/ 5
Draw 5/5
Aroma 4.5/5
Flavor 9/10
Taste/Aftertaste 9/10
Overall Quality 9.5/10

Total: 46.5/50

Five Stars: Superior


Highly recommended!
