Romeo y Julieta Churchills
The cape, a deep colorado, is stretched taut over a supple, perfectly cylindrical frame—a promise of precision in every puff. Before lighting, the dry draw carries whispers of rich earth, a touch of aged rum, and raisins sun-kissed and sweetened by time.
After lighting:
The smoke rises thick and oily, unfurling woody and gentle spice aromas that wrap around you like the warm Havana breeze. The cigar quickly reveals caramel notes that balance its growing strength. As with years past, the draw is generous, lending a brisk pace to the burn—a rhythm that both excites and demands patience.
In the second third, power pulses in waves. A slight verdant sharpness surfaces alongside rich wood and well-tempered spices. The smoke coats the palate with a softness that invites reflection, like old friends sharing stories under dim lantern light.
The final third sees the cigar grow warmer in the hand, the wrapper softening slightly, but the experience remains undisturbed—a soothing blend of wood and earthy mushroom notes, finishing with a subtle astringency that lingers just long enough.
Reflection: Year after year, the Churchills stands as a paragon of balance. It may not dive deeply into complexity, but its unwavering comfort is a quiet testament to tradition—an enduring companion in the ever-changing rhythm of Cuban tobacco.
