A decent looking light skinned cigar, this Churchill seemed easy on the eyes. Frankly it reminded me of the old Romeo y Julieta Vintage series in appearance. Maybe that's because both cigars had Mexican tobacco in them. The band is fairly non-descript while holding a wealth of information…all of which is written in a font so small you need someone to young to smoke cigars to read it for you…but I digress. The overall look and the feel of the cigar is decent. Not overly exhilarating, but absolutely nothing to turn you off.

Light this Churchill up and you will find a chemical like taste rumbling around your mouth. As chemicals go, I have tasted worse, but that was usually when I was in my younger glue tasting days. Thankfully that taste slowly dissipated until you are left with an extremely mild cigar. You can say the flavor matches the looks, as the mild wrapper perfectly frames you for the mild experience in smoking the Te-Amo World Selection Dominican Churchill. So combine an initial chemical like taste with a generally mild cigar, and I'm not sure what to say. The mildness does a poor job of helping you forget how the cigar started, and trust me you want to forget.

The construction is good. This cigar neither falls apart in your hand, nor does it bring back memories of those perfectly constructed cigars you've had in the past. I guess that's okay, as I wasn't expecting much more. I think the ante has been raised on cigar construction. Back in the days of the cigar boom, people would smoke just about anything, and many times in doing that you got some horribly constructed cigars.

People put up with the subpar construction because it was hard enough just to find cigars to smoke. These days, you can be more particular in your smoking selections, and therefore many people are putting more emphasis on the entire cigar experience.
