Smoking Experience Breakdown

First Third

The cold draw serves up sweet hay notes. Initial puffs deliver creaminess with roasted almond undertones - classic Connecticut characteristics. Watch for that perfect burn line developing through the first inch.

Middle Third

Oatmeal cookie flavors emerge as the Nicaraguan binder takes center stage. The smoke texture thickens slightly, leaving a pleasant white pepper tingle on the retrohale. Ash holds firm in .75-inch segments.

Final Third

Leather notes surface around the band point without overpowering the core creaminess. Ends clean with mineral undertones - no harshness despite the extended 90-minute smoke time. Moderate nicotine hit warns sensitive smokers.

Comparisons

  • Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 (7×50): Heavier cinnamon spice, denser smoke output
  • Ashton Classic (7×49): More floral notes, airier draw
  • Macanudo Café (7×49): Milder profile with grassier notes
  • Oliva Connecticut Reserve (7×50): Darker chocolate finish, tighter roll

Origin Insights

The magic happens where Ecuadorian cloud-grown wrapper meets Nicaraguan volcanic soil binder. Five-year-aged fillers from Perdomo's Esteli farms create consistent combustion. Their Miami-based quality control ensures every Churchill maintains 70-75% humidity before shipping.
