had a R&J short churchill, really enjoyed the flavor. nice and smooth, but with woody or earthy notes (to me anyway:smiley9:) got a real nice amount of smoke from each toke too- nice and easily. big plus for me :smiley14:
anyone know if there are any difference other than size to the regular Churchill?
Over the weekend,
Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robusto
La Aurora 2nd Robusto
La Gloria Charlemagne
Another Chateau Fuente......these smokes are great.

The Robusto (Short Churchill vitola) seems designed to be smoked with very few years of age. A good quality cigar even young.
This afternoon I'm smoking a Partagás Shorts with an Expresso coffee.

hmm, buying, storing, ageing, smoking- a slippery slope indeed! :smiley40:

Part of this amazing hobby is the magic of Premium cigars: how age acts on them, opening qualities and properties, hidden when young. Then, buying, storing, ageing, smoking is part of the game :smiley1:
Enjoy smoking.

Just got in Zino Crown L.E. 2008.
Smoked the Barrel........INCREDIBLE cigar.
I enjoyed this L.E. over 2007, by far. Richer flavor profile.

Again today. honestly, I'm very unimpressed with their idea of a flavored cigar. It seems to me like the "special infusion process" is really just fancy talk for "dipping the head in chocolate flavoring."Quote:
