gorgeous Connecticut-Ecuador wrapper with an oily sheen and all Dominican long-fillers. Light-bodied, super mild, very pleasant. Very little aftertaste and a short, crisp finish – Highlander is the perfect morning smoke

Anybody try these yet, opinions? the box says Costa Rica anybody know where the backy is grown?

Since I am a MCW and Hansotia has a good reputation, I picked up a 5-er of the churchills last month. They've been resting up from the trip, so I haven't smoked one yet. I'll torch one this weekend and post a review.

Always looking for a mild cigar bargain.

Just slipped one out of the cello and I gotta tell you, this looks like one cheap cigar. And it smells like old grass clippings. Not a good start!

Normally if a cigar starts out badly I try to stay with it for awhile to give it a chance to come around. With the Highlander churchill, I couldn't even make it through the first two inches. This was without a doubt one of the worst tasting cigars I've ever smoked.

Two thumbs down, way down.
