Arturo Fuente Churchill

I've had a couple of these and each time they start out very sweet on the palate ... for the first inch I wonder if I can handle it. But, once I get into the cigar, it mellows out, burns nicely and finishes on some great notes. Overall this is a good cigar in the upper average area.

Tasty and mellow for the first half, with increasing intensity towards the end. This is not a stunner, but it's a good all around cigar that seems very average to me in all ways. It burned consistently and slowly, and never once went out on me despite some relatively long breaks between puffs.

After removing the cigar from its cellophane, I was surprised at how great it looked: very solidly made with a shiny, oily, and toothy wrapper that has great color. The draw and burn are both fine. It's a sweet smoke with wood and coffee flavors and some grass on the finish. The flavors are a bit unbalanced as the sweetness from the wrapper seems to dominate anything in the filler. Still, it's a decent mild-medium bodied smoke.

This is just a no frills, hard working blue collar kind of smoke...nothing real sexy or mysterious. Just good cameroon flavor, a simple but tasty flavor profile hinting of nuts and grass with a slight mild spice and a good finish. Typical Fuente top shelf quality...for $4, this is a great Golf Outing stick. One per nine with the beer cart girl supplying the frosty beverages...yeah, man.

Ive tried a few of these. Nothing really spectacular about them as far as taste. The Wrapper on my second one actually started peeling off, leading to a bad, burn taste. they also tend to burn uneven. maybe after some age they could turn out diffrent

At first glance, the cigar didn't look like it would hold together through an entire smoke. For the first third of the smoke this seemed true...burnt unevenly, and I nearly gave up. I corrected itself though, and burnt evenly the rest of the way. As far as taste, I found it a bit too "chocolate" at first, and this gave way to relatively bland (although a spicy finish lasted the length of the smoke). I'll age a few and try again down the road, but for now I'd say there are definitely better cigars in this price range.

Tried another AF Churchill, natural variety. The flavor was slightly sweet with a spicey finish. The construction was a little faulty, as this sticks wrapper flaked a few times. The burn, although self corrected was off. Overall, this is not one of my favorite AF smokes. I might age a few if I find them for a really good price, and try them once again. But this cigar won't be something that I will search for again.

Good construction, flavor, experience--everything youd expects from a Fuente. Flavor profile is a little ordinary but perfect for a mood that doesnt call for a big boy.

Nice construction altough the burn became uneven towards the end. The flavor was OK, but a little mild for a medium bodied smoke. Slow burning gives one a chance to enjoy the cigar. Nice easy draw and a slightly spicy finish increases the overall smoking experience of this cigar.

Good medium body smoke with good flavor. Easy draw that is not "too" easy. Not as beautiful to behold as some, but generally well put together. Even burn with lots of smoke. Liked the first two so much that I bought ten more.

this cigar has really good construction, and the draw is perfect which is not always the case with narrower churchills. the taste is very mild and not at all complex however, but overall a good cigar at a really low price.

This cigar does not have enough flavor in my opinion and is very, very mild. Draw was on difficult side to keep this going also.

Nice wrapper, good construction, this is a very pleasant smoke. Medium bodied, nice and easy draw, and a smooth, even burn. It compliments a scotch or brandy very well. A good "anytime" smoke. Not top of the line, but not the bottom, either. My everyday cigar.

Yes, when I first stocked my humidor last year, I didn't really have experience with this brand and decided to take advantage of a 'deal' from Thompsons to buy a whole box. I know that is not the way to buy a new cigar, but I had such faith in the brand. I have consistently been disappointed by the flavor and draw of this cigar. Hard work to produce smoke and overall is a cigar I am now wondering what to do with in my humidor. I will continue to work on the remaining batch, but at this point I approach each smoking experience with the wrong attitude toward this cigar.

Very flavorful smoke. Held well, and had an easy draw. Good with a medium-bodied scotch.

Very good appearance and construction, with a bit more weight to the cigar than I expected (a good thing). Burn was even and draw was correct throughout. Pleasant mild-to-medium flavor with notes of wood, spice and leather, but otherwise lacking complexity. The finish was a little short but smooth. In summary, a good "anytime" cigar, which is somewhat one-dimensional in flavor.

Another fence sitter. It has the ability to be great, yet it just stays plain. Looks great, draw and burn are avg., flavor is slightly harsh and dry....I don't have the slightest clue what fuente is attempting to do. A lesson in economics, presentation and name = 0 w/o flavor and smoothness. Another bust.

Not a bad smoke but the lonsdale is a better fit for me. Same flavors, not as complex as other Fuente's. Lonsdale took about right amount of time to enjoy, Churchill lasted past enjoyment towards boredom.

A good value in my neck of the woods. Very smooth smoke, with a coffee sort of overtone . . . lasted a long time and relighting once didn't produce any off notes. All told, not a great one (especially the construction, as the cap was iffy and it was hard to cut) but a wonderful stick for those times when taste is wanted but inordinate expense is not.

Words cannot describe the heavenly pleasures i received while enjoying this fine cigar. As always, the Fuente people have outdone themselves. Smooth, even draw. Beautifully solid white ash. The marriage of appearance, texture, taste and smell reminded

Good consistency.
