squire Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Was watching a travel channel special on London and a segment toured the underground command headquarters used in WW2. This was Churchill's command center and displayed there are a number of his personal items including a partially smoked well chewed cigar. For anyone interested the brand was La Corona.

AnotherCigarGuy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Pretty sure he got Habanos directly from Cuba. The size he smoked was a 7 X 47, which had a factory name of a name I forget. They changed that factory name to "Churchill" that is now theclassic 7 X 47 size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, the factory referred to the 7x47 as a 'Double Corona" as opposed to the smaller size regular corona. Churchill's favorite brand was Romeo y Julieta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
