The Davidoff Winston Churchill cigar range introduces its new Limited Edition\u00a0\u2018The Raconteur\u2019 2016<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Davidoff is proud to announce \u2018The Raconteur\u2019, a new Limited Edition of Gran\u00a0Toro cigars. Inspired by the world\u2019s most iconic cigar aficionado, Sir Winston Churchill, and named\u00a0after an aspect of his personality as a master wordsmith. The cigars will celebrate some of his most\u00a0renowned and memorable sayings.<\/p>\n

Sir Winston Churchill personified the notion of \u2018Time Beautifully Filled\u2019: This was a passionate man\u00a0who revelled in the richness of life and its many experiences. A man of many layers and dimensions, a\u00a0man whose many facets added up to a personality which set him apart and which has greatly\u00a0animated Davidoff Master Blenders to develop these exceptional cigars of character \u2013 as uniquely\u00a0diverse in character as the man who inspired them.<\/p>\n

The new Limited Edition \u2018Raconteur\u2019 explores Sir Winston\u2019s relationship with time even further, filling it\u00a0beautifully not only with a great cigar but also with exquisitely crafted words and stimulating\u00a0conversation. Lines such as \u201cThere is no such thing as a good tax\u201d, and \u201cI am easily satisfied with the\u00a0very best\u201d not only give us instant insight into the Great Man\u2019s mind, but are guaranteed to delight and\u00a0amuse aficionados of premium cigars.<\/p>\n

Randolph Churchill, Sir Winston\u2019s great-grandson, said: \u201cWith all of my great grandfather\u2019s\u00a0achievements, it was his ability to be a great Raconteur, while meeting and dining with people, that he\u00a0was able to persuade others to realise his objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Awad, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing & Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff AG,\u00a0added: \u201cWhen talking to his great-grandson, Randolph Churchill, I discovered that Sir Winston had\u00a0written as much as Shakespeare and Dickens put together. This Limited Edition honours one of the\u00a0most dazzling raconteurs and prolific writers the world has ever known. As you unwrap these\u00a0exceptionally complex cigars and discover the \u201cbon mots\u201d, we know you will savour them and that Sir\u00a0Winston himself would appreciate the undoubted contribution his words will make towards the ensuing\u00a0conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

On their second ring, each cigar will carry one of Sir Winston\u2019s quotes that have stood the test of time.\u00a0Sir Winston\u2019s quotes were born out of his laser sharp powers of observation and his matchless ability\u00a0to craft memorable, inspirational and witty sentences.<\/p>\n

THE LIMITED EDITION RACONTEUR CIGAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018The Raconteur\u2019, is an extraordinarily complex Gran Toro cigar that harmonises the tobaccos of\u00a0Nicaragua, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic. It has a lovely shiny and oily Habano\u00a0Ecuador wrapper. Nutty flavours give way to an instant creaminess that imbues the cigar until the very\u00a0end. The intense, complex aroma, the roasted notes and hints of pepper, oakwood and leather echo\u00a0the other Winston Churchill cigars, but this cigar has more intensity of flavour. The delicious\u00a0concentration of flavour and aroma lasts the whole way through thanks to the 56 ring gauge and the\u00a0Piloto Visus. An exceptional cigar with a complex character driven by the unique 15-year-old San\u00a0Vicente Ligero tobacco blended with spicy Nicaraguan Estel\u00ed and sweet\/aromatic Nicaraguan\u00a0Condega tobaccos.<\/p>\n
