Tasting notes
The Villiger San Doro Claro Churchill, with its dimensions of 177.8 mm (7") in length and 19.8 mm (¾") in diameter, presents itself with a wrapper in an Ecuadorian color, revealing a layered texture that is meticulously crafted. The visual aspect is alluring, and the balance in the finishes attests to undeniable artisanal expertise.
Upon the first olfactory contact, pre-light aromas reveal a wide range of scents that promise a pleasant sensory journey. Upon lighting, one perceives a beautiful harmony of wood, pepper, and leather, and this initial evolution already announces a captivating aromatic richness. As it develops, subtle notes of coffee, hay, and toasted bread enrich the olfactory profile.
On the palate, the Villiger San Doro Claro Churchill offers a carefully crafted aromatic progression through its three thirds. The first third highlights wood with a pleasant structure combined with hints of pepper. In the second third, floral flavors intensify, allowing the creamy and slightly sweet aspects to flourish. The finish provides a beautiful completion with a mint note that arrives with finesse.
The final sensation in the mouth is marked by a gentle persistence, where wood and pepper leave a memorable imprint. Its finish is rated as medium, and the balance between strength and softness is very good, making this cigar an appealing choice for enthusiasts of delicate yet present nuances.
This cigar is particularly well-suited for a moment of relaxation after dinner, accompanied by a glass of peated whisky to enhance its rich aromas, while allowing you to fully savor its multiple aromatic facets.
