Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Petit Panetela Cigar - Tin of 5

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

A nice smoke, lasted about 40 minutes first 2/3rds were nice but of earth then cream, last 3rd was slightly too spicy for me, I’ve got a few more I’ll leave in humidor longer

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.

Impeccable construction, excellent burn with no corrections needed, draw was perfect, lots of smoke on the draw but almost nothing at rest. Packs quite a punch for it's size, very rich with creamy coffee upfront alongside powerful espresso and bittersweet dark chocolate, shifts to cacao powder and earthy black pepper. Medium body and medium high strength. Perfect short smoke with a coffee.
