GCCCs are made by Perdomo, a bit green right out of the box, need at least 3 months humidor time, then they're great! Medium to Full Bodied (the Churchill is probably the best of the line) Great construction, nice box-press, oily as hell. Worth the $$. Pre-Embargo GCCCs are Honduran, a bit more bite, a little acrid, need humi time. Full to full bodied ;) No box press in this line, only traditional parejo shapes. I had the Robusto, it was not bad. I'd suggest the GCCCs but not the "Pre-Embargo" GCCCs. Hope that helps...
