The Churchills Añejados Boxed 2019 is a prestigious release distinguished by its 47 ring gauge and 178mm length. Housed in a meticulously crafted box, this edition benefits from a careful aging process that enhances its complex flavor profile.
This aged cigar has a beautifully dark wrapper, feels great in the hand, and comes presented in the old aluminium tube that has been long discontinued by Habanos. Straight off the flavours present themselves - a rich chocolate, with a spice running through. The smoke was dense and thick, but I found a firm draw on this cigar which made things a little difficult. Halfway the spice diminished leaving just a robust chocolate and rich tobacco profile, really very tasty. I was reminded of the richness of the Cohiba Talisman. The burn throughout was flawless, and the firm draw and tight pack of the cigar meant it burned very slowly and for a great length of time. A fantastic smoke.
Opening that tubo must have been like opening and taking a whiff of a mini time capsule!

As it happens I just smoked one too and found it to be excellent. However, I prefer my R and J Churchills fresher - but this aged cigar was really superb. A great review!
