Can you use it in a sentence?

Sure. I smoked an E.P. Carillo Wavell this evening. I liked it better than the La Gloria Cubana Wavell I had last week.
How's that? ?? -
Hadn't really thought about it, I guess I just assumed they decided to make up a new name for there Robusto. I'm sure someone will know why and let us know

From Gary Korb, Exec editor at CigarAdvisor:
Based on my research, the cigar is named for the famed British Field Marshall, Sir Archibald Percival Wavell. But I also asked Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, who created the La Gloria Wavells, and now manufactures his cigars under the E.P. Carrillo Cigars imprint...
[Carrillo] “As far as I know, the cigar was named after the British General. The first time I heard it was Dos Gonzalez Cigars n the early 1980s. Efraim Gonzalez, who owned Dos Gonzalez used the Wavell name..."
Maybe you had seen this and wanted more? Or I stumbled across what you were looking for. I didn't look into who exactly this is or why he'd have a cigar vitola named after him. -
Thanks, Gray. Yeah, I learned of Sir Archibald but didn't turn up the bit about Dos Gonzalez naming a cigar after him. I appreciate your help, kind sir.... ??
