Review Notes: I picked up a few of these when they were first released and was very impressed with the flavor - I enjoyed the spicy bite this cigar presented, but felt it flat beyond the bite. The appearance and construction are a definite attraction, as is the beautiful white ash and consistant burn. The flavor may improve with age, but who knows? I have a box of the churchills and once a month I'll take one out - no significant improvement thus far. Between a 6 to a 7 in flavor depending on whehter you just love spicy cigars. The value was poor considering a $4 Onyx Reserve Maduro is a more pleasant smoke (in the opinon of many a guest to try both). Hopefully, with time, these will become great?
