Large Churchill format (7″ × 48) offers a long, immersive session for serious enthusiasts.

Storage & Pairing Suggestions
-
Storage: Maintain at ~65-70% relative humidity and ~18-21 °C to ensure wrapper integrity and flavour development.
-
Cut & Draw: With the 48 ring gauge and large size, use a clean straight cut. Take moderate, measured puffs to enjoy gradual flavour development over the session.
-
Pairing Ideas: Rich espresso, aged rum, or a mellow single-malt whisky complement the coffee-and-nut flavour profile. A fine Bordeaux or other wine could tie into the “Artist” theme nicely.
-
Ageing Potential: Given its premium nature and limited edition status, this cigar has strong potential for humidor ageing—letting it mature may reward the patient aficionado.
