Construction & Burn

The Arturo Fuente Churchill Maduro is hand-rolled with careful attention to detail, using premium long-leaf Dominican filler and binder from the family’s tobacco fields. The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper is dark and slightly oily — yielding a slow, even burn and a steady draw. The cigar holds consistent combustion throughout, delivering a balanced smoke from start to finish.

The cigar has earned high praise in tastings, with ratings such as 90 and 93 points for its balance, flavor complexity, and construction quality. 

Pairing Suggestions

Beer: Stout or porter — their roasted malt and coffee-like notes complement the cigar’s cocoa and coffee flavors.
Wine: Medium-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Rioja Crianza, offering enough structure to match the cigar’s depth.
Spirits: Aged bourbon or dark rum — their vanilla, oak, and caramel tones echo the Maduro’s sweet-wood and leather notes.
