What a great find! I find it especially interesting that the commonly referenced online Cuban cigar "encyclopedia" doesn't mention the churchill vitola--not only is your find great, it might also be a new discovery! I wonder if MRN mentions this vitola.

Also, based on my limited knowledge, the box appears to be pre-revolution (1960): in the second picture you can see the very top part of the double-ovaled "MADE IN HAVANA-CUBA" stamp. This stamp was not used after the revolution.
