I really wanted to take the opportunity to talk about these smokes again since the rumor is that they are quickly becoming scarce. Really, this is a tale of 2 very different smokes. The Quattro blend has been getting a great deal of attention lately due to the #2 rating the Churchill got in Cigar Aficionado’s top 25 list last year. But I never like churchills very much so I went with the robusto.
First off, the M356 is a stronger smoke than the F55. It has a lot of pepper and spice mixed with wood flavors. The F55 on the other hand is medium and has a sweetness and cedar wood flavors. I really like both blends and would rate both box worthy, so go get some while you still can.
