Finding a Great Cigar

A great cigar is a sign of adventure, and finding a great cigar is like landing a job that takes you to places from which you will return with a life lesson and a story to tell. It brings to mind the places to which we would all like to escape. Take, for instance, the La Aurora Preferidos Corojo Gold cigar. It has a unique flavor blend from the Leon Jimenes factory, with tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. I ponder these things as I read the paper, or run the numbers from the stock market, or plan my vacation.

Yes, finding a great cigar makes you know that there will always be adventure. So jump in--the adventure is waiting for you.

What Makes a Great Cigar?

The components of a great cigar are fine tobacco, fine craftsmanship and fine handling by the purveyor. What makes a great cigar connoisseur is an appreciation for the all of the above.

The Churchill Blenheim (Item # 11566), named for Blenheim Palace, the birthplace and ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill, is a cigar designed in the format favored by the world's most famous cigar connoisseur. Whether on his diplomatic tours to keep the world safe, or traveling through London under the threat of the blitz, Sir Winston always had a fine cigar in tow.

You can enjoy this tribute to Churchill by shopping DavidoffMadison.com. The ring gauge and 7-inch length enable this premium cigar's smoke to remain cool, while allowing the flavors of seven exquisite tobaccos to develop from start to finish.
