Cohiba Blue Churchill Cigars - Box of 20

The longest Cohiba Blue, built for a two-hour session, at about $10.90 a cigar.

Cohiba Blue Churchill is the 7½ x 50 in the Blue line of the Cohiba range, the longest size in the line. It has a sun-grown Honduran Olancho San Agustin wrapper over a Honduran binder, with filler from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua, handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. A box holds 20 cigars at $217.99 against a $363.32 list price, which works out to roughly $10.90 each.

Retailers describe a medium-bodied, mellow smoke with cocoa, caramel and cinnamon, plus cedar, nuts and a touch of citrus sweetness. One smoker also noted dark butterscotch. At 7½ inches it runs roughly 75 to 105 minutes, so it suits a long, slow evening.

It is a long, firmly packed cigar, and buyers report mixed results. Some praise the construction and the flavor, and one recommends smoking it slowly over a couple of hours. Others report a tight or firm draw, an uneven burn, or a spicy, hot final third. Rest the box in your humidor before smoking, cut generously, and take slow puffs. If you want a shorter smoke in the same line, the Cohiba Blue Robusto and Cohiba Blue Toro cost a little less per cigar.

What to expect:

1. Opening: cedar, nuts and light cream
2. Middle: cocoa, caramel and cinnamon
3. Finish: butterscotch, sweet spice and a warm close

Who it suits:

1. Smokers who want a long Cohiba session at a Blue price
2. Anyone who is happy to rest the cigars and smoke slowly
3. Buyers who prefer a milder, sweeter Cohiba over a bold one

For a smoother draw at a lower price, try the Cohiba Rubicon Gigante. For a Maduro option, see the Cohiba Black Corona. More boxes are in our premium cigar collection.

For adults 21+ only. Contains nicotine, which is addictive.

Flavor progression:

1. First third: cedar, nuts, light cream
2. Second third: cocoa, caramel, cinnamon
