Tamboril Churchill

The Tamboril Cigar Company manufactures and distributes premium, hand rolled cigars under the Tamboril and Cordova brand names. Its manufacturing facilities are located in Tamboril, Dominicana Republica where they also oversee production of their own cedar boxes. Tamboril was formed in 1995 when president Anthony Markofsky stumbled across an empty warehouse in Tamboril begging to be transformed into a cigar manufacturing factory in one of the more renowned Dominican cigar manufacturing cities. It was easy for the company to acquire quality rollers as there were so many in the city already that were commuting 2 or 3 hours to work in other remote factories. Growing rapidly, Tamboril has increased its production from 2 million cigars in their first year to over 4.5 million in 1997. The Tamboril brand is currently produced in both a Connecticut Shade and Sumatran wrapper and will soon be offered fuller-bodied maduro as well. Our panel enjoyed both the Connecticut Shade Tamboril line and the Sumatran Cordova line. The Sumatran cigars featured this month received the highest rating in the Tobacco Times Reviews since its inaugural Volume. We know you're gonna like these cigars as much, if not more, than this month's competing name brand Cohiba smokes. Enjoy! The Tamboril Cigar Company's common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol of SMKE. For more information about the Tamboril Cigar Company, call 800.472.9891.

6 Look for a silky smooth, aesthetically beautiful Connecticut Shade wrapper on this well constructed, mild Dominican smoke. Look for an easy draw and even burn. We found it to offer a well balanced blend of subtle creaminess and mild undertones of pepper. The aroma is also very pleasing, soft and slightly spicy. Overall, a very nice, mellow smoke. Very smooth. Consider pairing this one with your favorite Pilsner.
