Default Re: Are the NC Dunhills worth smoking?

I was fortunate to smoke a Dunhill Signed Range Churchill last night...

Paired with a dram of Glenlivet 18 yo single malt, the marriage of smoke and scotch flavors resulted in tastes that were outstanding. The DSR uses Cameroon leaf as a binder, which gave the cigar a different, almost sweet tasting creamy smoke at times.

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?
