Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented Churchill is a 7 x 48 cigar created through the collaboration between Drew Estate and Pappy & Company. Handmade in Nicaragua, this distinctive cigar incorporates Kentucky fire-cured tobacco that undergoes a special fermentation process inside retired Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels.
The barrel-fermented Kentucky tobacco is used as a dark tapa negra over a Mexican San Andres base wrapper, with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos completing the blend. Drew Estate describes the medium-bodied profile with charred oak, Scotch-like peatiness, and burnt coffee characteristics.
