A cigar test is subjective

Note: How a cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the form of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room has an influence on the flavour you experience. The notes described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.

Dominico Churchill — This cigar is light and full of flavour! I would never have expected that.

Conclusion Dominico Churchill

This is not an outdoor cigar; it does not tolerate wind, otherwise it will become bitter immediately. If you want to enjoy it outside, please make sure that there is only a hint of wind blowing through from time to time.

I hadn't had this brand on my radar before. Why not? I know: the cigar ring put me off buying it. I find it so old-fashioned that it brings tears to my eyes. Well, you know I like to exaggerate when it comes to cigar rings and I'm a bit of a creep from time to time.

So, don't be dazzled by the cigar ring: The cigar is excellently rolled and has really good tobacco. It smoulders perfectly and straight, the ash is compact.

A real lightweight in flavour, which I really like about this cigar. The price is also great, isn't it?

As always: „If I like the cigar, maybe you will too. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!‘ 🙂
