Press Release: Davidoff Introduces A New Line Of Winston Churchill Short Cigars



Davidoff introduces a new line of complex Winston Churchill short cigars to
delight aficionados who are short on time


Basel, June 2015. 

Davidoff announces the addition of two short cigars in a Belicoso and Petit Panetela format to the recently introduced line of Davidoff Winston Churchill cigars bearing the name of the world’s most iconic cigar aficionado – Sir Winston Churchill. A man whose many facets and complexity added up to a personality which set him apart. A man who was the very embodiment of “Time Beautifully Filled”.

“These two new short formats have been designed to delight aficionados with an exceptionally complex cigar when time is a luxury. Like other cigars in the Davidoff Winston Churchill range, they
are inspired by two of Winston Churchill’s complex character facets: a man of great speeches and write ups – The ‘Raconteur’, and a man who explored the world – The ‘Traveller’,” says Charles Awad, Senior Vice President Global Marketing and Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff AG.

THE CIGARS


A BELICOSO
Sir Winston Churchill was a man who throughout his life was a traveller, a wayfarer, exploring the
world through his work as a war correspondent, widening his horizons and his mind. This took him to
Cuba and to the beginning of his love affair with cigars. Indeed seeds from the island are in the fabric
of the Belicoso. Later, his roaming spirit would take him to Marrakesh, the inspiration for many of his paintings and a location as rich and full-flavoured as this Belicoso format cigar, which would certainly satisfy Sir Winston’s taste for the exotic.

A PETIT PANETELA
Sir Winston was a raconteur, a lover of “les bon mots”. A teller of tales and a weaver of words, his
speeches were as captivating in private as they were in public. The anecdotes would intermingle like
the complex flavours of the Davidoff Winston Churchill Petit Panetela which starts a little earthy with hints of spice and liquorice but then, against a backdrop of floral and herb notes, it begins to gradually mellow out. Like the closing of an evening, enjoyed in the conversational company of the Great Man himself.

THE BLEND


The aim was to craft this new range of short cigars as uniquely diverse as the man who inspired them.
The Davidoff Master Blenders have embraced and accomplished an exciting challenge: blending
cigars of a complex character with a rich mixture of fine qualities drawing on and harmonizing the
tobaccos of Nicaragua, Peru, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic. The inspiration for these chosen
short formats was the Great Man’s persona, his complex character traits, and his actions and
experiences which shaped our history.

The Davidoff Winston Churchill short cigars boast a beautiful shiny and oily Ecuadorian wrapper. The blends of the Belicoso and the Petit Panetela are inspired by the multifaceted character of Sir Winston Churchill thus delivering a palate stimulation in line with the range of Davidoff Winston Churchill cigars; truly Cigars of Character. While enjoying these cigars, the palate is delighted with pepper notes, dark coffee, wood and spices accompanied with a creamy aftertaste and rich aroma. With an enjoyment time of 25 minutes these cigars are ideally suited for aficionados short on time. These cigars come in an elegant white lacquered tin that can fit in every pocket and showcases the embossed iconic silhouette of Sir Winston Churchill.

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these  Tryst  e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic.  You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
