Davidoff Winston Churchil limited edition 2021 – The commander FRCSW5)

[Mhansen85]

Feels appropriate with a Churchil moment. I am a fan of the regular WC, but not the late hour. Curious how this will fall between

 

Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Dominican Dominican Hybrid 257 Seco
Filler: Dominican (Piloto Ligero, Hybrid 20-20 Seco, San Vincente Mejorado Ligero, San Vincente Visus); Nicaraguan (Estelí Visus)
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Factory: Cigars Davidoff

 

The initial pepper blast is very very bold and quite surprising to me. It settles after an inch into a more balanced hay, earth, cedar profile with dark coffee and coco bean, and a fruity berry note i cannot quite determine more closely (cranberry, or cassis maybe)

 

While the original gets a kick from a san andress wrapper, this one seems to make up for it in ligero. It is a bold cigar but one in perfect balance in the first third. Creamy dense smoke output

 

2/3 not much transition but everything blends well together, Black pepper replaced by White pepper in this part. Wonderful creamy Hay and barnyard stands out the most. body is medium , strenght medium+

 3/3 oaky and woody, still very plesant a bit less complex
