Exile Churchill

The Exile, cloaked in a paper reproduction of the astonishing February 4, 1962, headline page of the New York Daily Mirror proclaiming President John F. Kennedy's enactment of the Cuban embargo, is one of the most uniquely packaged cigars we've featured in recent years. Hand crafted by the celebrated master blender Sr. Omar Ortez at Esteli's renowned Nicaragua-American Tobacco factory, it reflects the time-honored traditions of pre-embargo Cuban cigar making. These medium- to full-bodied gems are wrapped in one of the most expensive wrappers known to man, a reddish brown Ecuador Sumatra from the famous Oliva family. Premium Nicaraguan long-fillers and binders are blended in a fashion that mirrors the flavor of Cuban cigars past and present. This combo of finely aged tobaccos creates a smooth, creamy smoke with a spicy-sweet finish. Look for a pleasant, spicy, robust aroma. A medium-bodied ale, bourbon or blended scotch would complement your Exile Churchill nicely.
