Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Series Churchill (7″x48) Cigars

The Late Hour Series is Davidoff’s evening tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, who did much of his writing late at night, often with a cigar in hand. The Churchill is the longest format in the series, a 7 inch by 48 ring gauge smoke built for the hours after dinner.

It is handmade in the Dominican Republic with a dark, oily Ecuadorian wrapper over a Mexican binder. The filler blends Dominican tobacco with two Nicaraguan leaves grown in the volcanic soils of Condega and Estelí, and the Condega visus leaf is aged in Scottish first-fill single malt whisky casks, which Davidoff credits with a subtle, mysterious sweetness.

Davidoff rates it 4 of 5 in intensity and describes a full-bodied, complex smoke of about 65 to 80 minutes with plenty of thick, white smoke. Black coffee, leather and spice open the first third, leather, dark chocolate and cream fill the middle, and black pepper, oak and malt carry the finish. Davidoff suggests a heavy, spicy rum that is not too sweet. It is offered here as a box of 20, a pack of 4 or a single cigar.
