5 Facts about Trichinopoly Cigars 1. The love for Havana Cigars Winston Churchill had was ineffable. During the 1940’s Nazi’s began to confiscate convoys that headed past the Atlantic Ocean. It carried ordnance, food, weapons, and Churchill’s favourite Havana Cigars. That’s when a letter named “Top Secret” came to the Madras Government. It was from the CCA, which they believed was an abbreviation for Chief Confidential Assistant but it turned out to be different later. But he was responsible for importing Trichinopoly Cigars from Trichy in Tamil Nadu to 10 downing street. The finest of Trichinopoly Cigars reached Churchill too. 2. Although a rough-edged Cigar, every puff of Trichinopoly Cigar was a power statement of the elite. 3. Crime writer, Dorothy Sayers’s fictional detective Lord Wimsey utters the line, “a fellow who polluted it with a Trichinopoly....” 4. Sherlock Holmes describes a suspect in the following words, “He was more than six feet high, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height, wore coarse, square-toed boots and smoked a TRICHINOPOLY CIGAR.” 5. The CCA mentioned in the first point is nothing but Churchill’s Cigar Assistant (CCA) - A Cigar Taster who was responsible for the transferring of the Trichinopoly Cigars from Woraiyur, Trichy.
