A Cameroon wrapper, matured for over 30 years. Tobacco that has been allowed to age for decades. In the end, this cigar leads to a much bigger question than just a flavour judgement: does it really taste the way it is - or the way I expect it to taste?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Meerapfel MEIR Churchill shows a clearly different flavour profile in the blind test compared to the open tasting. Expectation influences the perceived complexity and the perceived price. This review is based on a structured comparison of two solo tastings with visible anilla and a blind test with two connoisseurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the blind test, the Meerapfel MEIR Churchill appears significantly calmer, more linear and less complex than in the solo tasting. With visible anilla, it tasted balanced, deep and multi-layered. I was thrilled.<\/strong> The difference can also be seen in the price: Two connoisseurs blindly estimate it at around CHF 15, while the actual price is CHF 63. The price is a result of the long storage period and is quite understandable given the age of the tobaccos used. The blind test shows how much perception can deviate from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For quick categorisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technically, it convinces with a stable draw and an enormously good, even burn with a stable and light-coloured ash. At the same time, I see a taped-over wrapper on one cigar and a slight curl at the end of the burn on another cigar during smoking. The curling at the end of the burn is not dramatic - it has happened to me with other cigars. It rarely happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
