Macanudo Inspirado White Churchill

Inspirado White is a study in contrasts. It’s simple, yet complex. It’s sweet, but spicy. It’s elegant and refined, but doesn’t carry a top-shelf price tag.

Perhaps it’s the aged tobacco inside each and every perfectly wrapped specimen here that delivers so much. The golden, silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper is aged for 6 years; the Nicaraguan and Mexican San Andres filler leaves are aged for four.

The draw is perfect on every sample I’ve got my hands on, producing a smattering of earth, slight spice, soft and creamy notes, and a warm tobacco core.
