The Brick Churchill
Origin: Honduras 
Size: 7.0 X 56
Wrapper: Sumatra
From
Milan Tobacconists:
Honduran long filler. The trend this year is for larger
ring gauges and this hand made, square pressed cigar in
the old Cuban style leaves nothing to hide.

Notes:
I got the first "Brick" in a cigar shop for
$5.00.
I liked it so much I scoured the internet. The only place
I have been able to find it to date is at bestvaluecigar.com.
The 7 inchers are under $2 a piece on line.
This cigar burns very evenly. I have smoked a few hundred
and the only runners I ever got were at 20 mph in a fishing
boat. It has a smooth and slightly earthy flavour. Lasts
over an hour out of the wind and better yet it lasts over
an hour on the golf course. The square press sits beautifully
on the fender of the golf cart. You can leave it for 10
minutes to chip and putt with the boys and you will come
back and it will still be lit and any minor burn differentiation
will have corrected itself. My only regret is that there
is only one source I know to get it in bulk.
There is a shorter version, just as good, that is about
5 1/2 X 56. I have no idea who makes it as it comes in
a bundle of 25 and the label says nothing. It is long
filler and a tremendous smoke for the price.
