Cigar Review: Casa Magna Colorado Churchill

I’m the type of smoker that enjoys a cigar when the taste is great from the very beginning. That’s precisely what you get when you smoke the Casa Magna Colorado Churchill.

The taste is very medium bodied, with a touch of spice that I commonly find in Nicaraguan tobacco. Yet as the cigar begins to burn, about a quarter in, a stronger taste begins to unfold. Isn’t too intense, but the stronger flavor definitely takes the cigar in a new direction; it begins to taste less like a Pardon and more like a milder La Flor Dominicana.

The draw is a bit tighter than other Nicaraguan brands, but in no way is it too constricted. This stick finds a major strength in its construction: the well-oiled dark wrapper burns evenly and holds a good ash. Its texture is significantly smoother, and seemingly tighter, than the Nicaraguan cigars I typically smoke, yet this ends up being a major plus.

As it burns towards the end, the flavor becomes even stronger, yet the flavorful transition from medium to full is smooth and enjoyable.

I’d highly recommend this cigar after a hearty, spice-filled meal.

All-in-all, the Casa Magna Colorado Churchill is a great smoke at a great price.
