Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Churchill

The backbone of the Arturo Fuente lineup long before Opus X or limited editions gained fame — vintage Dominican binder and filler aged a minimum of five years. The Natural, in a toothy Cameroon wrapper, gives chestnut, baking spice, and coffee bean; the Maduro, in Connecticut Broadleaf, gives molasses, dark chocolate, and pepper — both toasty and nutty with a buttery, orange-peel finish.
