This is the youngest of the cigars that Matt (Cyrann) of Brothers of the Leaf gave me, but also one of the nicest. The Winston Churchill is no slouch and I can”t wait to see what almost 2 years has done for this luxurious cigar.

Winston Churchill Marrakesh
This cigar is way darker than most Kelner made cigars using an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The leaf is teaming with oils and has a silky touch that is inviting and alluring.
The ciga,r from the start, begins like most cigars wish they finished. It is rich and flavorful, a slight bit of pepper with tons of tobacco and leather. The Kelner mustiness is there, this cigar reminds me already of an AVO LE 05.
I’m drinking a Cockburn’s Special Reserve Porto with this stick, and it really brings out the oakiness in the cigar without all of the dryness.
A quarter of the way through, the cigar changes a bit and gives off notes of chocolate and coffee. It’s like I’m smoking a Cafe Mocha!
The third quarter of this cigar is yet again different, rich with leather and nuts with the oakiness on the finish.
The last quarter is rich and intoxicating, loaded with tons of spice and licorice. This is an amazing cigar!
Thanks again to Matt (Cyrann) for the cigar, I really enjoyed this!
