Cuban Crafters sampler U.S. Army Churchill

Garbandz · 04-04-2009, 12:08 PM

Just got a sampler from Cuban Crafters and lit up the U.S. Army churchill. This is a very tasty smoke, an attractive EMS wrapper, well rolled ,very even burn all the way,solid light gray ash, smooth mature tobacco taste and compelling aromas. The palate includes nice leather,caramel and cedar notes,the finish is broad and lightly coating.The intensity builds in the 2nd third and carries through the last third,always staying pleasant and a little chewy. I highly recommend this for you if you enjoy medium to medium full smokes. I will be ordering some of the other sizes to see how the toro and robusto compare, I expect they will be similar in most aspects, perhaps a bit fuller..I rate it 6 of 10 strength and 16 of 20 overall...
