The Mexican San Andrés wrapper brings the richness, while the Nicaraguan core delivers depth, spice, and a long evolving experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Identity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Churchill\u003cbr\u003eStrength: Medium to Medium-Full\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Long-format, complex San Andrés profile\u003cbr\u003eWrapper: Mexican San Andrés\u003cbr\u003eBinder: (blend varies by production)\u003cbr\u003eFiller: Nicaraguan tobaccos\u003cbr\u003eFactory\/Origin: Nicaragua\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst Third\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening brings a smooth wave of dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and earthy sweetness.

Cedar, leather, espresso, and mineral earth build underneath the chocolate notes.

The Toro brings intensity quicker, while the Churchill stretches the experience and lets the earthy, sweet, and spicy notes develop gradually. It’s a refined evening cigar with enough body to satisfy experienced smokers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurnt Leaf Insight 🌿🔥\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Churchill isn’t just a bigger cigar — it’s a different journey. With San Andrés tobacco, the extra length gives the smoker time to experience the wrapper’s sweetness, the filler’s complexity, and the balance that happens when a blend has room to evolve. This is a “sit back, pour a drink, and enjoy the conversation” cigar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Burnt Leaf Lounge","offers":[{"title":"SINGLE","offer_id":46711001874631,"sku":"171971529170","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BOX OF 20","offer_id":46711001907399,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0724\/6535\/files\/c0d58cbb-c213-448e-b899-d21c757d4983.jpg?v=1782765181","url":"https:\/\/www.theburntleaflounge.com\/products\/villiger-1888-san-andres-churchill","provider":"The Burnt Leaf Lounge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
