Edited mine again to add, Zino platinum Crown series double grande tubo Churchill.

Best NC I’ve ever smoked easily. It was like a 7.5 inch RASS. If I didn’t know any better I would have said it was Cuban.

I thought
the same thing a few years ago about the Regis USA exclusive
I've thought that about the Quesada espana, Curi Achilles, and one or 2 others I'm drawing a blank on at the moment. Cabaiguan is damn close.
