WABOOM Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I like the petit churchhills better than short churches. The petits are more potent. I like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mt1 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I prefer the wide churchills for the "fullness" of the smoke, although I find the ring gauge to be unwieldy at times. I agree with others that the petit is more intense than the short, in a good way (to me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raskol Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Wide Churchill - smooth, sweet flavors & complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I prefer the short churchill's and the full size churchill's. I've got a mental block on the petit. I don't want to spend $200 on a box of 4" cigars like the petit churchill's when for approximately $70 more you can buy the full size churchills. (or I can get two boxes of another 4" cigar the HUHC) It seems that on several websites the petit are more than the short. Why is that? They are the same RG but the short is about 1" longer. The wide churchills are too wide and not far off from the price of the regular churchill so I don't buy those either. I do have to say though that the RyJ taste profile is one of my absolute favorites. I just wish the petit prices were more reflective of the size of cigar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaver702 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Wide Churchill for me. Great complex flavors and smooth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I think at their best, I'd probably take the SC. Generally the PC is the most enjoyable for me but they can have a little bitterness to them. Not sure if that works itself out over time though. The WC can be good but I've had nothing but bad luck with them over the years. Very inconsistent IMO. Also burn issues are always a possibility with those ring guages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowjr1 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 What’s the flavor profile differences btw the ful vs Wide vs Petite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaver702 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 What’s the flavor profile differences btw the ful vs Wide vs Petite?I can only speak for the wide Churchill. I get a smooth creamy smoke with hints of earthy or woody notes. At times I got a fruity note as well. But that’s me....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Regular Churchill? Jewel in the RyJ crown to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikB72 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Soft spot for the Petit but that’s because I was at the launch during the gala dinner of the 2012 festival 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sooty Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Wide for my tastes. Already have plenty of other favorite robustos (RASS, BRC) so the Wide is a welcomed change of pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon11 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I have a box of the Wide churchills from 2016 and they are smoking better than anything I have right now. Awesome smoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealnyc Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Old post but after smoking some Petit this week have to say they are almost worth the $. Almost. Bought a box a while back in a moment of weakness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pull out the perfecdraw I'd take this any day over my severely underfilled short church I had last night. Had to ditch it after struggling through the first third it was so bad. At least the perfect draw usually fixes a plugged one right up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had to use my perfectdraw in months ever since I started keeping anything I'm going to smoke in a month or so in a 58% box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG1165 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 In order for me would be.... regular churchill(I realize this wasn't on your list, but), then PC, short, wide. If something I wanted to smoke right away I think the SC is better ROTT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encephalization Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would throw in the new Petite Royales in the mix. I got a box from 24:24 (DIC17) that has been a complete banger. Very attractive from a price standpoint and the ones I've smoked have had very true RyJ DNA. On the three you mention: I do prefer the wide one, all day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I smoked a petit churchill last night right off the truck. It was a bit of a let down. Kind of bland. I've got a box of Petit Royales on the way. I hope they are better. Basically the only cigars where I get that real RyJ cherry and cream taste like the churchill is the mille fleur but the cherry is much fainter vs the churchill. I don't get it from the SC or the PC and find the taste of the SC a bit better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
