Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Petit Panetela Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 24 January, 2026 by Jordan

This is easily one of my favourite cigars in the smaller format. While it’s on the pricier side for its length and ring gauge, the flavour profile more than makes up for it. Expect rich dark chocolate notes, a touch of malt, and a pleasant underlying sweetness. In the final third, the sweetness deepens and the chocolate really comes into its own. Well worth trying if you don’t mind the premium price tag. I originally brought a single then came back for this tin to have some in my humidor for when the time comes.

The Davidoff The Late Hour felt like a cigar designed for slower, more deliberate smoking, and it immediately stood out from other Davidoff blends I’ve tried. Knowing that the tobacco is aged in Scotch whisky casks added a layer of intrigue before lighting, though the cigar never leans into gimmicks. On the cold draw, I picked up dark cocoa, leather, and a slightly sweet, malty note. Once lit, the smoke was rich and dense, with flavors of espresso, dark chocolate, and oak dominating the first third. The strength was medium-to-full, but impressively smooth. There was a refined bitterness—like strong black coffee—that stayed balanced rather than sharp. As the cigar progressed, subtle sweetness crept in, along with hints of dried fruit and spice, rounding out the darker profile nicely. Construction was excellent throughout: an even burn, effortless draw, and consistent smoke output. By the final third, the cigar deepened further, becoming more earthy and leathery while maintaining control and elegance. For me, The Late Hour felt like Davidoff stepping confidently into richer territory without sacrificing refinement. It’s bold, composed, and rewarding—ideal for evenings when you want something darker but still polished. Rating: 8/10

This was a great cigar one thing about The Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Petit Panetela bad about it is the price (big price for a little cigar). Construction was perfect, even burn and perfect draw. Very good flavours of chocolate and earthy notes with a little bit of spice (black pepper) If not for price it would be a 10 out of 10 cigar. If price doesn't matter for you it's a must try

The Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Petit Panetela is easily one of my favourites, maybe even the favourite so far. It’s a beautifully made cigar that lasts me about 25 minutes, though I might just be a slow smoker. It’s become my go to night time cigar, perfect for those quiet moments before bed while I’m letting the dog out. The flavour is rich and refined without being too heavy, and it stays smooth right to the end. I used a shallow V-cut, which worked perfectly, though a straight cut also does the job. With a steady rhythm, around 30 to 45 seconds between draws, it smokes cool all the way down to the nub. A great little cigar for winding down at the end of the day, and one I’ll always keep a few of in the humidor.
