Sorry Simon I bow to your knowledge

[Wigan]

That is very interesting to know guys, I love a little factoid. I had wondered if they were created for him.

Anyway decided I can do better than that previous photo

Enjoy mate , feet up in front of the fire perfect

[PeeJay]

One story I heard is that the great man took a tumble outside Nat Sherman in New York. They took advantage of the news interest to put a sign in the window advertising his choice of cigar 'as smoked by Churchill' and the name was born. Who knows?

[oskihen]

Always wondered and maybe Simon could enlighten us whether the name was awarded posthumously or with his knowledge

[Wigan]

is there a romeo sized cigar?

[Wigan]

Cigar is smoking a treat. Smoother and slightly creamer than I remember. In a good way. Started it with a cup of tea but gone onto a Horlicks and matches up rather well

BOB123,
What does the cigar taste like?
And that is the mother of all cigar stands! :-)

Ever wondered what the Churchill shape was called before WW2?

It is old sewing machine in bar next to my house :-)
In one word Melanio is smoooth, it is smooth taste with lots of mild flavors, great developing of tastes, superb construction, perfect burn

[Guinness70]

A bar next to your house... life can be cruel.
Thanks for info.
