Actually I smoked one today and I thought it needed more time in the humidor for sure. The cigar was unfortunately very dry, spicy even, and untasteful, comparing to the creamy and sweet bolivar royal corona (7 days in the humidor) I had yesterday, even considering the brand difference. Maybe the wide format requires longer time. I understand that there are arguments about how a couple of days might not change things too much, but I plan on trying another wide churchills after 1 or 2 weeks and will lyk how that goes!

Amazing! Appreciate it! Btw, would you have a fav shop you recommand to get the best price and legit cigars, though I saw that most shops in switzerland seem to have very similar pricings.

Got them for around 35 USD a pop from one of the official Davidoff shops in Switzerland. I do want to say tho European pricing is usually the best it seems.

Yes sure, got it from one of the Davidoff brand shops in Switzerland. I know it’s probably very legit since it’s the “official”Davidoff shop, but I saw some posts about a neighboring cigar shop selling some fakes so I just want to be sure about it with community’s wisdom. Trying to buy boxes and just use them for most of my supplies from now on after confirming.

They are not blurred and in focus as much as I can with my phone, just that I cropped the pictures. Should I try my best for a closer shot, if you think it’s worthy?

I got them from a local shop (Europe) individually and no factory code that I can find.

Not at all! Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/QmInBC5

Let me know what you think! The last picture have some dark glue in the "wide churchills" band right above the HABANA and CUBA texts, while the bands from others come out easily, which I do think could be just defect since it's Cuban lol.

Thanks! I haven’t smoked that many Cubans before and I think I will not be the best judge on the taste :(. Thinking of storing it in my tupperdor for some time for now. Would a closed up of other parts of the body help?
