Davidoff Winston Churchill Raconteur Petit Panatela Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 11 August, 2018 by Nigel

Tried a smaller Davidoff last year and found it to be quite interesting so decided to try one of these. They are described as being medium/full. I found the cigar to be very light in body with very little flavour. Have to agree with Oliver - disapointing and lacking in personality. Whilst it was even burning the draw was very easy, so much so it smoked like a cigarette and as a result has to go down as the fastest burning handmade I have ever smoked. Therefore despite its modest price it is poor value for money. Taking all things in to account it does not fare well against competitors like Arturo Fuente for instance. As such I cannot recommend this cigar at all.

Nice Cigar but not for me. First third was very peppery which put me off a bit. Then it turned more mellow which was better. With some leather taste coming through. The burn was good and the draw good. Cant argue with the price for this cigar. Still looking for my favourite cigar.

I don't get licorice or leather, but am impressed by the mature, fine quality tobacco flavours of this cigar, which belie it's budget price. I put the strength as mild- medium. Drew well, though uneven burn. The flavours intensify yet leave a pleasant taste on the palate. Into the second third it becomes more complex. Excellent post lunch or supper choice. The nicotine level is not excessive. If one were looking for a day to day smoke, with a good balance of quality, pungency and character, not many could beat this one at the price. Highly recommended.

I found this cigar underwhelming - its charming & smooth but for me lacked a personality

This is my first Davidoff cigar and what an impressive little smoke it was too. Certainly picked up the earthy taste at the start with slight notes of liquorice then it settled into a smooth and pleasing floral character. Towards the end the strength ramped up and more of a leather taste came through and smoked it down to the nub. Perfect construction with no burn issues and the ash dropped off in three solid chunks. I am impressed!

Brought a few of these going by other reviews, and have to say I'm very impressed!! Very nice smoke full of flavour, hints of spice, earth and very Creamy. Even burn and easy draw. At just over £5 per cigar it beats many cigars double or even triple that price, 30 minute smoke. Order more as soon as I finished my first one!
