Opinions on best Churchill

Comments please...what are you guys tasting out there ?

The only 2 CHurchills I would reccomend is ...Cohiba Esplendido and Older Punch Churchills.. I dont find bigger sizes packed with much flavor

I have had more bad experiences with this vitola than any other. Plugged or tight seems to be the most common. Punch leads the way with the most negatives. Partagas is better repesented with almost any other vitola they make IMHO. Tight Upmanns have been a problem but I prefer the flavor and strength of the Upmann better. Cohibas are more well constructed but cost considerable if that is a problem for you. Bolivar are a step up across the board and I just love the whole Bolivar line. SLR churchills are hard top find and I only have one box from '98 and they are mild. Hoyo, R&J and La Gloria Cubana lead the way for me with the Tainos as top dog.

RyJ POW from '01: Rich, heady flavors; some have been tight.

ERDM Tainos from '05: Complex and subtle smoke that slowly builds. First rate tobacco and construction.

Bolivar Coronas Gigantes

H.Upmann Sir Winston

Thanks gentlemen !!!

[El Presidente]

la Gloria Cubana Tainos

Punch from 1998 (cabs in particular)

I tend to reach for La Gloria Cubana Tainos more than any other.

I would also highly recommend the Ramon Allones Estupendos. It's a wonderful cigar that is showing glimpses of greatness. It will, alas, have to rest for another year or so to get there. ****** some up because it's a regional release and won't be around forever.

Bolivar CG hands down the most consistent.

I absolutely love the Sir Winstons. I like Esplendidos a lot, but as Benoît says, they're very expensive. Bolivars are nice, but the Partagas I find too light.

Bolivar CG- to me they taste best & are a great value

Upman Sir Winston

RA Estupendo

Cohiba Esplendidos are nice, but IMHO, not worth the extra money.

Had a BoliCG I got as a single last night. I'm guessing its either 05 or 06 production. It was mighty fine. Medium bodied but layers of complex boli flavors that we've all come to love.

Aged Hoyo Churchills are my favorite.

RA Estupendos are amazing if you can get them.
