So this is my first review. I haven't seen another review on this cigar and thought it would be a good one to cut my teeth on.
Name: Brick House Churchill
Measurements: 7.25" x 50
Nicaraguan Puro
My apologies to you foodies but cigars just don't have food flavors to me. While enjoying this smoke, I was watching "Inglourious Basterds". A great Tarantino film.
Initial inspection reveals a double cap and good construction with two large veins running the length of the wrapper. The unburned cigar has a pleasant fermeted vegetal aroma, like what you would find in a mid-stage aerobic compost (that's a good smell). The cap cuts cleanly and pre-burn draw is good.
Upon lighting, there is a sweet flavor and good spice on the tongue and the back of the throat with lots of thick smoke. The burn on the first third of the BH is a little jagged, but no touch-ups necessary. The ash is firm and white but drops at about 1.5". Smoke through the sinuses feels like a good shot of wasabi mustard but is not quite strong enough to bring me to my knees. The taste continues to be slightly sweet with a good spice on the tongue. At this point I would say the BH is between Medium to Full bodied.
"And cousin, business is a boomin". At the halfway mark, the BH is slightly sweet with a good tobacco flavor and still some spice on the tongue. However, the finish on this cigar is forgettable. I got too interested in the movie at this point when they started bashin' in Nazi skulls and the BH went out. I recut, and found a small amount of tunneling. Upon relight, the cigar once again rewarded me with abundant smoke.
The last third of the BH became full bodied and my head was a'buzzin on the nicotine. At this point I noticed more of that sweet flavor on my palate and more spice on the tongue. This was an enjoyable smoke accompanied by a great movie. This would be a good everyday cigar considering it can be bought at a B&M for around $5.00. One question I have for the viewers. I have noticed with the Nic puros that the taste is distinctly sweet. Not overly sweet, but very noticeable. Do others agree? and how do other regional puros compare?
