The Story Behind The Churchill Size Cigar
https://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/the-story-behind-the-churchill-size-cigar-a-312.html
In 1895,
after graduating from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Winston Churchill
and a fellow officer travelled to Cuba, which was then in a battle for
independence from Spain. Churchill spent just a few months in Cuba but this is
where he fell in love with cigars. He almost immediately became hooked on one
of its most famous products where his favourite brands were Romeo y Julieta and
La Aroma de Cuba. For the rest of his life, friends and Havana dealers would
send him regular shipments, ensuring he had access to his prized Cubans, even
in times of crisis and war. It then becomes known and famous for Churchill to
almost never being seen without a cigar.
The size ‘Churchill’ is named after the
legendary cigar aficionado Sir Winston, but the timing of its origin is
disputed. Story has it after a visit by Sir Winston himself to the Romeo Y
Julieta factory, it was then created as famous Churchill size Cigar. This was
in the late 1940s where Sir Winston was an avid smoker of cigars and of Romeos
in particular.
Sir Winston
Churchill was a man of many facets. Because of this the Churchill cigar line
pays them homage by dedicating a cigar to every one of those, with lots of
unique tastes and outstanding complexity.
