Churchills

[CoventryCat86]

Saint Luis Rey Churchill or a San Cristobal de la Habana El Morro. The El Morro isn't exactly a "churchill" (7 x 47) it's a "paco" (7 1/8 x 49) but most people consider it a churchill size.

Saint Luis Rey Churchill

Thanks for your comment. I thought, though, that Saint Luis Rey leans toward the lighter side in strength. No?

I don't think so. I think they're medium to full, probably at least as strong as or stronger than a Sir Winston and a Punch Churchill. The larger ring/size cigars in any line tend to be less strong than their corona counterparts. I don't think you're going to find a very "strong" churchill or double corona in any of the Cuban lines.

I'm no afficiando by any stretch of the imagination having only been into cigars for 3 years now.

In that time I've found I prefer cigars in the longer lengths ....Toro, Churchill......when I have time to sit down and enjoy them.

My favorite (so far) Churchill is the Romeo y Julieta Churchill. I tried the first one just because those were (or so I was told) Winston Churchill's favorite.

If you haven't tried one yet, I recommend you do so. It will give you the 90 to 120 minute relaxation period you want, and they have a very nice flavor. I would consider them a medium cigar for intensity and of the 20 or so I've smoked in the last 3 years, they've all burned very well (even, lots of smoke) and the flavor has been consistent.

He smoked Romeo y Julietas and La Aroma de Cubas but the "Churchill" size was not a vitola st the time he first started smoking cigars. The "churchill" size, 7x47 was created at a later time and named after Winston Churchill.
