Highlander Churchill

There’s no denying the talent behind this cigar. Kaizad Hansotia, the master behind the famed Gurhka line, makes this attractive cigar in Felipe Gregorio’s factory, providing the oversight of yet another huge talent. The Highlander is wrapped in a splendid Connecticut-Ecuador wrapper which houses its blend of all Dominican long-fillers. The unlit aroma is particularly earthy, and the flavor maintains this earthiness along with a slightly sweet taste and very mild spice. Look for a musty note here and there in this very light-bodied, unimposing cigar. We found the draw to be quite nice and the smoke volume plentiful with a pleasant aroma. The finish is short and crisp, with notes of toasted cedar, and there is very little aftertaste present. A great cigar for the morning hours, or in the early evening with a mellow pale ale.
