Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Cigars

For those who appreciate a richer, more intense smoking experience, the Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Collection delivers depth, strength and sophistication in equal measure. Inspired by Sir Winston Churchill’s fondness for working and reflecting late into the evening, this series is crafted for moments when you want a cigar that feels bold, contemplative and deeply rewarding from first light to final draw.

Compared to the smoother, more balanced Original Series, The Late Hour range is unmistakably fuller-bodied, offering greater intensity and a more pronounced flavour profile. It is designed for seasoned smokers or those ready to explore stronger blends, while still retaining the refined construction and balance that Davidoff cigars are known for.

A Multi-Origin Blend with Added Depth

At the heart of The Late Hour Series is a carefully selected multi-origin blend of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. What sets this collection apart is the additional fermentation process, where the tobaccos are aged in Scotch whisky casks. This extra maturation step enhances complexity and brings added richness to the smoke, without overpowering the natural character of the leaf.

The result is a cigar that opens with robust notes of leather and spice, gradually developing into flavours of roasted coffee and earth. As the smoke progresses, subtle hints of dark chocolate and malt emerge, adding warmth and sweetness to balance the strength. It is a layered, evolving profile that rewards slower, more thoughtful smoking.

Vitolas in the Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Series

The Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour collection brings a curated selection of vitolas, each designed to showcase the richer, fuller-bodied character of this whisky-cask-aged blend.

Across the range, the cigars combine the dark, oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with barrel-aged Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos to deliver a complex and rewarding smoke, no matter which format you choose.

Robusto (5″ × 52) – Compact yet powerful, the Robusto offers an intense flavour experience in a shorter format. Its ample 52 ring gauge allows the blend’s rich leather, spice, coffee and chocolate notes to express themselves quickly and fully, making this size excellent for those evenings when time is limited but quality is essential.

Toro (6″ × 54) – Striking a balance between smoking time and depth of flavour, the Toro is one of the most popular choices in the Late Hour series. With a slightly longer length and broader ring gauge than the Robusto, it gives the whisky-aged tobaccos room to evolve further on the palate, revealing layers of woodiness, malt sweetness and spice over a more leisurely session.

Churchill (7″ × 48) – As the signature size in the collection, the Churchill format offers the most extended and nuanced journey through the Late Hour profile. Its classic proportions allow for a gradual development of flavour and intensity, making it ideal for reflective evenings, rich pairings and cigars that deserve to be savoured from start to finish.

Petit Panetela (4″ × 38) – For those who favour a shorter, slender format, the Petit Panetela delivers a refined expression of the Late Hour blend. Despite its smaller frame, it captures the essence of the cask-aged tobacco with crisp definition, making it an elegant choice for a quick after-dinner smoke or a lighter interlude between larger vitolas.

Crafted for the Evening Smoker

True to its name, The Late Hour is a cigar best enjoyed when the day winds down and time is your own. Its fuller body and deeper flavours make it ideal for after dinner, paired with a whisky, rum or rich coffee. This is not a rushed smoke, but one that invites you to settle in and savour each stage of the journey.

Despite its strength, the blend remains smooth and well-rounded, avoiding harshness while still delivering a satisfying intensity. This balance is a hallmark of Davidoff’s craftsmanship, ensuring that even bold cigars retain elegance and precision.
