Alec Bradley American Sungrown Churchill - Box of 24

The longest format in American Sungrown's bolder reinvention of the American Classic recipe. At 7 x 48, the Churchill wraps a dark, coffee bean colored Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Habano leaf around the same Nicaraguan Jalapa binder and Estelí-Condega filler blend found across the line, rolled at Plasencia Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.

At this length, the medium to full-bodied blend, deliberately built with more spice and darkness than the milder American Classic wrapper it descended from, has the most time of any size in the line to unfold across a genuinely extended session. The narrower 48 ring gauge keeps the wrapper's contribution proportionally closer to the Robusto than the wider Gordo allows, and the signature combination this line is known for, nuts, toffee, earth, and cedar with a smooth, sweet finish, complex spice balanced against an unexpected apple-sweetness, develops steadily across a considerably longer arc than the Toro or Torpedo provide.

As a genuine Nicaraguan puro, wrapper, binder, and filler all sourced from Nicaragua, this Churchill carries the same 91-point recognition from Cigar Aficionado that runs across the entire American Sungrown collection. For smokers who already know they enjoy this bolder, darker take on American Classic and want to spend a genuinely unhurried stretch of time with it, the Churchill delivers the fullest, most developed expression of the blend, thick, chocolatey, earthy smoke with nutty, peppery undertones, given the most room to breathe of any size in the lineup.

2. Mid-smoke: toffee and cedar develop over the longest arc in the line, complex spice balancing against an unexpected apple-sweetness
3. Close: a smooth, dark cocoa finish rounds out an extended session, the medium to full body staying consistent to the final draws
