Davidoff launches ‘Winston Churchill’ range

Iconic British wartime leader Winston Churchill will have two cigars to his name after Swiss manufacturer Oettinger Davidoff said it is launching a new brand bearing his moniker.

The Churchill family has given the Basel-based company exclusive rights to produce, market and distribute cigars, cigarillos and smoking items with the ‘Winston Churchill’ brand.

In common cigar parlance however, a ‘Churchill’ is a Cuban Havana cigar measuring 178 mm by 18.65 mm. Oettinger Davidoff has not produced any Havana cigars since a dispute with Cuban manufacturers in the late 1980s. The company said its new range of Churchills would use tobacco grown on plantations in the Dominican Republic, Peru, Nicaragua and Ecuador. afp
