well... the area of what Churchill smoked is IMHO super-opaque.
RyJ is the obvious 'favourite' that gets quoted, alongside La arome de cuba. BUT other reports suggest he had cigars specially made. Given the boom of CR's now, we know the reaches of range they can offer. Pick a few pictures of the old boy and some sticks look fatter than others..... but I agree that a few look quite as long as the one used in Peaky Blinders!!
Just read a fascinating quote from one of his valets... 'it took me a long time to reconcile that his cigar consumption within 2 days was worth more than I was paid in a week'.
His stock of 4000 at his country home seems modest though when compared to some of the ballers on here!!!
