The Brick House Churchill


The cigar. An age old right of manhood. The classic form of male celebration. And my newest venture. I have decided to take up the enjoyment of cigars, and find that I know very little of the craft. The best way to learn however is to jump in with both feet.

First, the disclaimer: smoking is bad for your health in any form.

Now that we have dispensed with this, I have decided to cut my teeth on the Brick House Churchill. Purchased for $5.25, It fit my target spend of less than $8.00. The cigar is a nice looking stick, with a light brown wrapper and measuring 7 1/2". After a clean cut, the stick took a good light. The cigar produced nice creamy white smoke, and a smooth flavor that carried through the entire event. As I moved through the first third of the stick I found there to be a pleasant sweetness that added to the experience, which remained to the end. The smoke was easy, and I quickly found myself fully relaxed and enjoying the late summer evening.

The smoke lasted about an hour, and never required a relight at any time. This is a cigar that would run well with any occasion. I highly recommend the Brick House Churchill. To any amateur, or aficionado, it will leave you feeling great about your choice.
