Alec Bradley Black Market Churchill - Box of 24

The longest format in Black Market's original four-country blend. At 7 x 50, the Churchill wraps a Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf, cured to a dark, shimmering Colorado Maduro patina, around an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, with filler tobacco combining Honduran Jamastran Valley leaf and rarer Panamanian long-fillers, all handmade in Danlí, Honduras since the line's 2011 debut.

At this length, the blend's signature combination, earth, black pepper, licorice, leather, and cream, has the most room of any size in the original Black Market line to build and develop across a genuinely extended session. Cedar, cocoa, and coffee notes that reviewers consistently cite across this lineup take their time settling in, and the pre-light aroma of cedar, earthiness, spice, and the distinctive mint or spearmint quality some reviewers have noted carries into a long, satisfying arc once the cigar is lit.

Founder Alan Rubin has always leaned into unconventional shapes and sizes across Black Market, and the Churchill sits at the traditional, more formal end of that spectrum, alongside the wider Gordo and the tapered Torpedo. For smokers who already know they enjoy the earthy, spiced, Cubanesque character this line is known for and want the fullest, most unhurried version of it, the Churchill delivers exactly that, a rich, complex, medium-bodied smoke built for an evening with real time to spare.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: cedar, earthiness, and spice on the pre-light aroma, with natural sweetness leading the first puffs and hints of mint appearing on some sticks
2. Mid-smoke: cocoa, coffee, and clove develop over the longest arc in the line, the core earth, black pepper, and licorice character deepening steadily
3. Close: leather and cream round out a smooth, extended finish, the medium body staying consistent through to the final draws
