El Mejor Espresso Churchill Cigar Review

kaelaria

This 7×50 box pressed maduro stick offers an almost black wrapper with a tight press and seams, minimal veins, a firm but slightly spongy feel, very oily and smooth wrapper with a rich chocolate and tobacco aroma. First light reveals a firm draw, earthy, peppery flavors with a long finish and medium body. The firt third has burn problems, burning unevenly and tunneling. Flavors remain consistent with the first impression. By the 1/2 way point after several touchups, the flavors revealed a touch of coffee. At 1:15 I ended the stick because it had no good flavors after constant relights, tunneling and touchups. It had gone very warm and mushy, giving mostly charcoal flavors and a frustrating experience. I will try one again sometime, this could have just been a dud, it was my only sample. http://cigarobsession.com/cigar-reviews/el-mejor-espresso-churchill/

Sounds about right. This is one I always drybox. That and rest seem to alleviate the burn issues.

I've had one in the humi for about 2 months now. I totally forgot I had it in there. Time to smoke it, never had one before.

I keep everything in the low 60's and this has been here for several months.

Never tried to dry box these. I do seem to wind up with these same burn issues. Pretty good flavor and a low price make it OK to check out. Still prefer the CCom brazil blend though...

at an hour fifteen in, how far through the cigar were you?

maybe you need to slow down. that could explain the bad taste.
