What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado scored the Churchill Natural 90 points in June 2024 and rated it medium in strength. Their tasters found a sweet, spicy gingerbread character up front, then leather and cinnamon, with a woody finish carrying a touch of salt. In an April 2017 review (89 points), they found cocoa, gingersnap and sweet berry fruit early on, followed by a flinty turn and a faint nuttiness on the finish.
