My Review of the Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Belicoso Cigar
It smells amazing and the cold draw is a dream. Upon lighting, the opening is slightly spicy yet creamy. Being a Davidoff, the cigar shows early on that it knows how to balance flavours well.
The second half really begins to grab you. There’s a noticeable richness, perhaps from the whisky infusion of the tobacco leaves. It develops into a rich, satisfying smoke that remains harmonious throughout, with touches of wood adding further depth to the balance.
The only snag I encountered — unusual for Winston Churchill-branded Davidoff cigars, given their reputation for quality — was that it was quite hard to draw on at times, despite using my PerfecDraw cigar tool. These things happen, and I’m sure another sample would perform perfectly.
Unfortunately, despite how much I admire Davidoff, I would knock one star off based solely on my own experience. I suspect many others will find it worthy of a full five stars.
