Introduction

The Montecristo Churchill Anejados is the second release of the linea Anejados. Cigars in this line are extra matured in Cuba's perfect humidity for 5 - 8 years, unlocking the full flavor of tobacco leaves.

Cigar Appearance

It has a double band, a traditional one and a brown 'Anejados' band. The wrapper is Colorado, with few veins and a crunchy feel. The size is elegant.

Cigar Construction

Well - rolled, with a correctly applied cap for easy cutting. The pre - draw indicates a non - tight draw. The ash is compact, and the core stays well - lit.

Cigar Tasting

• One third: Light start with good combustion and draw. Woody with spice hints, a classic Montecristo profile.
• Two thirds: Flavor intensity increases. Cedar, oak, vegetal notes, cashew nuts, and occasional spices.
• Three thirds: Flavors are well - defined, intensity evolves as the smoke gets hotter. Combustion and draw remain great.

Overall, it's lighter than expected, perhaps due to extra aging. Well - constructed, with good flavor and aroma definition. It's suitable for any time, like with afternoon coffee.
