I changed my mind!

This is one of my absolute favorites. 1999, while not great for some smokes, was amazing for the Winstons.

Those of you that know me know that I am quite an Upmann fan...

I think the term is Upmann whore.

Great review of a great cigar, must try one. :smt031 :smt031

1 1/2 to 2 hours? Wow!
I usually polish a SW off in about 45 minutes....hour max.

I find that slowing down really helps bring the flavors out, works for me anyway.

I cant smoke a 5x50 in 45 minutes. That is why this time of year it is mostly small smokes for me.

Great review

Must agree with the previous post ... you are an Upmann whore. Not that this is a bad thing, either.

Good review Kevin. I smoked the one you gave on New Year's Day walking through Central Park.

I like the monarchs alot - the Sir Winnie seems to have a little less of the secondary coffee flavors and more of the refined tobacco flavor with just a moderate twang.

Definately a no rush cigar.

(Now how did you find 90 minutes of no interruptions?)

great review kevin, I still have the one you gave me, just waiting for the right time, maybe this weekend?

Probably my favorite Churchill. Though I can't stretch it to 2 hours, you must really be contemplating the smoke. LOL.

 

[The Prince]

Properly aged, definitely my favorite Churchill.

Interesting

Fantastic review!!!! One of the greatest smokes!!!! Too bad I smoked by last one in December!!

 

[MichiganM]

I've heard nothing but great things about these, be it from fellow BOTL's or MRN himself. I'll definitely have to get my hands on one sometime. Thanks!
