Davidoff

Winston Churchill The Late Hour

Enjoyed as an after dinner quick smoke!

Always a great smoke with this one. A very woodsy smoke with touches of spice throughout. Aged tobacco comes through with a super clean balance. A very smooth draw and firm construction for a very enjoyable smoke.

Been awhile, but a repeated review. A very woodsy smoke with touches of spice periodically. The aged tobacco comes through with a super clean balance. A very smooth draw and firm construction led to a very enjoyable smoke.

Only the second one of these I’ve had but definitely one of my favorites. Paired great with an Old Fashioned.

Delicious!

Cedar bomb. Tons of spice. A bit much. Burn wasn’t great either. For the price it should be better.

I really need to stop falling in love with these $20+ cigars. This was truly a great smoke. Not overpowering but far from weak. Plenty of flavors and transitions to keep the churchill interesting, sometimes these longer ones just get boring but that was far from the case with this one. Highly recommend.

Very pleasant cigar. Dark, oily wrapper. Some veins. Burn wasn’t great at the beginning, not too much smoke, got better in the second and last thirds. Had to touch up twice though. Great flavors: wood, some spice, nice balanced smoke. Flavor evolves nicely over time. Not sure it’s worth the price, but it was a very enjoyable cigar.

Fantastic. One of my favorites

This is a fantastic cigar. Not for the faint of heart, but for a very strong cigar it was surprisingly smooth with very little to no harsh notes. It did not have an overly long finish like some strong cigars. I will definitely be buying again.

Best ever

Don't get me wrong this was a fantastic smoke all the way through, but for the price per stick, I just don't see the value, I've paid half the price for sticks I've had a better time with. Burn was a little wonky, and draw was tight. As I said, really a great experience, one I was happy to have, but not one can equate to the price.

This was amazingly flavorful and signature Davidoff construction. I enjoyed the scotch taste to it, what I thought was a bit unbalanced was the woodiness. Some people compare the nicuagra line to this and I don’t get that at all. That line is exceptionally balanced. The late hour is very good but what I believe could have become a legendary classic cigar fell short in the area of balance. One could not say the woodiness is the aging on whiskey oak barrels alone, because this had signature Davidoff woodiness that was instead turned way up. However it wasn’t unpleasant and I still enjoyed it. I would buy this again to revisit it and see if the imbalance is cleaned up.
