TRIVIAL PERSUITS
DAVIDOFF WINSTON CHURCHILL ROBUSTO
Provenance:
Dominican Republic
Length:
5 1/4”
The Winston Churchill Robusto has long been a favourite of mine for its effortless sophistication. It carries
itself with the same quiet con昀椀dence as the man it honours — re昀椀ned, assured, and wonderfully balanced. The
draw is 昀氀awless, the body smooth, and the overall impression one of composure and grace. It’s a cigar that pairs
as naturally with conversation as it does with an aged Scotch.
TATUAJE 7TH NICARAGUA COROJO CORONA GORDA
Ring Gauge:
52
Strength:
Medium
Provenance:
Nicaragua
Length:
5 5/8”
I’ve always admired Pete Johnson’s devotion to authenticity, and the 7th Corojo is a testament to that
philosophy. This cigar feels alive — expressive and well-built, with a medium-to-full body that carries a
beautiful tension between strength and sweetness. It’s lean, elegant, and deeply satisfying. For those who
appreciate Nicaraguan character without excess power, this is a gem.
OLIVA SERIE V DOUBLE ROBUSTO
Ring Gauge:
46
Strength:
Medium to Full
Provenance:
Dominican Republic
Length:
5”
Each time I light the Serie V Double Robusto, I’m reminded of why it remains one of Nicaragua’s 昀椀nest
achievements. It’s a cigar of power and 昀椀nesse — bold and full-bodied, yet undeniably smooth and poised. The
draw is effortless, the burn consistent, and the smoke deeply satisfying. It’s a masterclass in balance, proving
once again that strength and elegance can coexist beautifully.
CLE CONNECTICUT ROBUSTO
Ring Gauge:
54
Strength:
Full
Provenance:
Honduras
Length:
5”
The CLE Connecticut is, to me, a quiet revelation. It’s gentle but never dull — mellow, creamy, and full of
subtle nuance. Its construction is impeccable, the smoke re昀椀ned and steady from start to 昀椀nish. A cigar to
unwind with, not to analyse — the sort of pleasure best enjoyed on a sunlit terrace with a moment to breathe.
CHARATAN LONDON CLARO HALF CHURCHILL
Ring Gauge:
50
Strength:
Mild to Medium
Provenance:
Nicaragua
Length:
4 1/2”
I’ve always found charm in cigars that re昀氀ect our pace of life, and the Charatan Half Churchill captures that
perfectly. It’s a re昀椀ned, mild smoke that feels distinctly British — understated, polished, and quietly luxurious.
Its creamy, smooth draw makes it ideal for a morning indulgence or a short reprieve between engagements. A
small cigar with great character.
MACANUDO EMISSARY ESPAÑA ROBUSTO
Ring Gauge:
46
Strength:
Mild
Provenance:
Multi-National Blend
Length:
5”
Smoking the Emissary España is like a journey through the world’s 昀椀nest tobacco regions. Its 昀椀ve-country
blend achieves a rare harmony — balanced, expressive, and exceptionally re昀椀ned. Medium-bodied yet
complex, it’s a cigar that commands quiet appreciation. With its 昀氀awless construction and cosmopolitan
elegance, it represents Macanudo’s most sophisticated evolution to date.
