Description

The Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Robusto is an exquisite Dominican handmade cigar, measuring precisely 5 inches in length with a 52 ring gauge, designed to evoke Sir Winston Churchill’s legendary late-night vigils of inspiration. Introduced in 2018 as part of the Late Hour series, it honours the wartime leader’s fondness for Scotch whisky through innovative six-month fermentation of its Dominican and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos inside oak Scotch whisky barrels from The Macallan distillery. Encased in a dark, veined Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper and paired with a Mexican San Andrés binder, this medium-to-full-bodied robusto delivers a 45-60 minute smoking experience of sublime refinement and complexity. The cold draw teases whisky sweetness, leather, and spice, igniting into a creamy first third dominated by dark chocolate, espresso, and white pepper with subtle oak undertones. Midway, it evolves into richer layers of malt whisky, toasted almonds, dried fruits, cinnamon, earth, and black cherry, while the finale crescendos with robust cedar, graphite, nutmeg, and a lingering whisky-kissed mocha finish. Renowned for its flawless construction, razor-sharp burn, and voluminous smoke output, it epitomises Davidoff’s pursuit of perfection—ideal for evening contemplation.
