The DSRs are pricey - $21 for a Churchill, ranging down to $11 for a Petit Corona - but I'll be trying different sizes of this cigar in the future because I personally enjoyed that first one very much.

I have never smoked a Dunhill CC, and doubt that it will happen in the near future, so I'll have to try out the NC DSR's every so often.



I went to a Dunhill tasting a few weeks ago. The grand prize for the raffle was a 6 cigar sampler of the signed range in a magnetic locking box with a steel punch cutter. Guess who won?
