Iconic British wartime leader Winston Churchill will have two cigars to his name after Swiss manufacturer Oettinger Davidoff said Thursday it is launching a new brand bearing his moniker.

Iconic British wartime leader Winston Churchill will have a cigar to his name after Swiss manufacturer Oettinger Davidoff said Thursday it is launching a new brand bearing his moniker.

The Churchill family has given the Basel-based company exclusive rights to produce, market and distribute cigars, cigarillos and smoking items with the "Winston Churchill" brand, company boss Reto Cina said in a statement.

In common cigar parlance however, a "Churchill" is a Cuban Havana cigar measuring 178 mm by 18.65 mm.

Oettinger Davidoff has not produced any Havana cigars since a dispute with Cuban manufacturers in the late 1980s.

The company said its new range of Churchills would use tobacco grown on plantations in the Dominican Republic, Peru, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

Winston Churchill was British prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955.

He was famous for his defiance of the Nazis, his stirring oratory and trademark cigar and "V for victory" sign.

In 2002, a BBC poll with more than one million votes saw him voted the Greatest Briton of all time.

“二戰(zhàn)”時(shí)期英國(guó)著名首相溫斯頓?邱吉爾不久要擁有屬于他自己的雪茄了，因?yàn)槿鹗垦┣阎圃焐虋W汀?大衛(wèi)多夫公司于本周四宣布，他們將推出一款“邱吉爾”牌新雪茄。

該公司總部位于巴塞爾，老板里特?斯納在一份聲明中介紹，邱吉爾家族已授權(quán)該公司獨(dú)家生產(chǎn)、銷售和配送“溫斯頓?邱吉爾”牌雪茄和小雪茄等香煙類產(chǎn)品。

在通用的雪茄用語(yǔ)中，“邱吉爾雪茄”是一種長(zhǎng)178毫米，直徑為18.65毫米的古巴哈瓦那雪茄。

在上世紀(jì)80年代晚期，奧汀?大衛(wèi)多公司因與古巴雪茄生產(chǎn)商發(fā)生糾紛，因此一直未推出任何品種的哈瓦那雪茄。

據(jù)該公司介紹，其最新推出的“邱吉爾”雪茄系列將使用多米尼加、秘魯、尼加拉瓜和厄瓜多爾種植場(chǎng)的煙草為原料。

溫斯頓?邱吉爾曾在1940年至1945年及1951年至1955年兩個(gè)時(shí)期任英國(guó)首相。

邱吉爾首相以其在“二戰(zhàn)”期間頑強(qiáng)抵抗納粹侵略、激動(dòng)人心的演講術(shù)、叼著招牌雪茄以及“V”形勝利手勢(shì)而著名。

在英國(guó)廣播公司2002年的一項(xiàng)共有一百多萬(wàn)人參加的民調(diào)中，邱吉爾首相當(dāng)選“英國(guó)最偉大的人物”。
