The Alec Bradley Black Market Churchill is a premium cigar that is renowned for its unique and exotic flavours. This highly-rated blend is known for its dark and oily wrapper that gives it a fierce look yet the flavours are well-balanced and smooth.

The Black Market Churchill is crafted using a blend of Honduran and Panamanian long-filler tobacco, which is carefully selected and aged to perfection. The binder is a Sumatran leaf, which adds to the complexity of the flavour profile. Then beautifully encased in a dark and oily Nicaraguan wrapper leaf that gives the cigar its bold appearance.

This cigar encapsulates a smooth and creamy taste with a medium to full body. Releasing initial notes of earthy tobacco and hints of spice, followed by flavours of coffee, cocoa, and a subtle nutty sweetness. The smoke is thick and aromatic, with a long and satisfying finish.

A unique blend that delivers an exotic, complex and well-balanced flavour profile, creating an exceptional smoking experience that is sure to please any cigar enthusiast.
