First Impressions
The Short Churchill displays a smooth Colorado wrapper with a slight sheen and perfect seams. Pre-light aroma gives cedar, dried flowers, and a touch of sweetness. Cold draw is balanced and clean, delivering subtle cream and almond.
Smoking Experience
First Third – Cream and cedar lead, with floral tones emerging lightly. Burn is clean at first but begins to waver slightly.
Second Third – Almond and floral notes deepen, cedar stays prominent. A few minor burn issues require attention but not major corrections.
Final Third – Pepper flickers in, cream fades, and the cigar finishes warm and balanced. Burn stabilizes but never becomes razor-sharp.
Pairings
Alcohol – Dictador 20 Year Rum , offering caramel, vanilla, and soft spice that elevate the cigar’s creamy, floral character.
Tea – Ceylon Lovers’ Leap Black Tea , bright and citrusy, refreshing the palate and enhancing the cedar and floral notes.
Music Pairing
“Let’s Stay Together” – Al Green
Smooth, elegant, and comforting — matching the cigar’s creamy sophistication.
Final Thoughts
The Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill delivers a gentle, classy Cuban experience built around cream, cedar, and floral nuance. A few minor burn issues prevent perfection, but the flavor balance and aroma remain consistently enjoyable.
Final Score: 8/10 +10/10 - overal 9/10
