Davidoff Winston Churchill
$34.60 – $450.00The Winston Churchill line of cigars was introduced as a tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister. Quite frankly, here, you have a cigar in which Davidoff Master blenders have embraced and accomplished an exciting challenge by blending a cigar of complex character with a rich mixture of fine qualities by drawing on and harmonizing the tobaccos of Nicaragua, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
What can definitely be said is that Winston Churchill will probably be the smoothest, creamiest and tastiest cigars you will ever smoke.

Binder: Negro San Andrés (Mexico)

Oliva Flor De Oliva Original
$71.44 – $79.38This great brand traces its roots back to 1886 when Melanio Oliva began growing tobacco in Cuba. After the revolution, his grandson Gilberto went to Spain and then settled in Nicaragua. In 1995 Gilberto and his son Gilberto Jr. launched the company.
If you’re a fan of Oliva cigars, you’ll agree that this company delivers what you pay for. While their super premiums are priced fairly considering the great sticks they are…….they ain’t cheap! When the Flor De Oliva bundles of value-priced premiums were launched, the company made it very clear that everyone can now enjoy their brand every day for around $3 each! Even those folks that smoked long cigars with big ring sizes.
The Original edition is a medium-bodied stick that burns slowly and increases in intensity as you move along. I’ve often smoked the Churchills halfway down and thrown the rest away without any guilt!
