Storage Instructions
The Oliva flor de oliva churchill 7×50 performs best when stored in a stable, properly maintained humidor. Aim for a relative humidity of about 68 percent, with an acceptable range of 65 to 70 percent. Keep temperature between 65 and 70ºF (18 and 21ºC) to avoid rapid expansion or contraction of the tobacco. Before placing your Churchill in the humidor, let the humidor reach and hold the target humidity so the cigar can acclimate slowly. Given the Churchill length, allow a little extra space so air can circulate freely around each stick. For short term travel or temporary storage use a quality travel humidor or a sealed container with a two way humidity stabilizer set to the same RH level.
Care Tips
Handle the Oliva flor de oliva churchill 7×50 gently to preserve the wrapper. Pick up the cigar by the band or the body near the head using light pressure, and avoid rolling it between your fingers. Keep your hands dry and free of oils to prevent staining the wrapper. If the cigar is newly shipped allow it to rest in your humidor for two to four weeks so it can regain equilibrium. For those who enjoy aging, this Churchill often rewards more time on the shelf, with 6 to 12 months bringing additional complexity and smoothness. Rotate your cigars periodically within the humidor for even humidity exposure and inspect for any signs of mold or overhumidification. When you are ready to smoke, cut cleanly with a sharp cutter and toast the foot evenly before drawing to protect the wrapper and enjoy the full flavor profile.

Tasting Notes
The Oliva flor de Oliva churchill is a refined, medium-bodied smoke that opens with a creamy, buttery sweetness layered over warm cedar and toasted almond. Midpalate notes shift to delicate cocoa, hay and a light leather underpinning, while a subtle black-pepper spice appears on the finish and retrohale. Aromas are invitingly floral and bready with hints of brown sugar that lift the overall profile, making each draw smooth yet complex. The large ring gauge delivers cool, even smoke and a lingering, satisfying finish prized by seasoned aficionados.
Pairing Suggestions
Espresso — a rich, concentrated espresso sharpens the cigar’s cocoa and toasted-almond notes and provides a bright, bitter counterpoint to the natural sweetness. Añejo rum — an aged rum with caramel and molasses tones complements the churchill’s cedar and brown-sugar aromas, creating a harmonious, indulgent pairing. 70% dark chocolate — the chocolate’s bitter-sweet depth mirrors the cigar’s cocoa and leather nuances while cleansing the palate between draws for a balanced tasting experience.
