Had one of these resting in the humidor since October and finally smoked it. Very nice cigar. Rich dark woody flavour with cream and cocoa, black pepper and a little nutmeg spice. Not much in the way of evolution through the cigar, other than a little sour vegetal hint in the last third, and the flavour overall had a touch of dryness about it, but still quite enjoyable. Construction was good with a great, slow burn but the draw was very loose, helping it to burn hot in the last 2 inches, which was a shame.

Got to say I didnt like this cigar at all, it took an age to toast, and burnt very unevenly. I thought the taste was vey one dimetional, it reminded me of the cheep cigars that you used to get in pubs. Bitter tasting and leaving an acrid smell on my clothes. My wife thought I had been near a camp fire. I found that the draw tightend up towards the end, and was quite happy to finish it early. Its not to my taste but others may like it.

I had one of these at the weekend. It was an hour and half of heaven which I smoked right down till it burned my finger tips. Strong flavours without being too heavy on the nicotine.

The entire Winston Churchill selection from Davidoff is worth experiencing but Late Hour shaped to be something special from the get go.
Between the robusto and its longer brethren it is the Churchill that provides the definitive smoke largely due to the size and the impressive physical statue. Pleasure derived from cutting and lighting up this cigar as well as simply handling its deep brown coloured wrapper and the sheer weight of the stick itself is somewhat majestic.
This smoker would certainly agree with some other opinions that the taste is consistent throughout its lenght with coffee and chocolate persistent but enveloped in unmistakable sharp grain resulting from ageing tobacco in whisky barrels.
It is as satisfactory as sipping a good malt and certainly unique. This is one to respect and enjoy in peace and almost katharctic. If not for the immediacy it provokes with its flawless presentation I'd be keen to store and see how it refines in a humidor.
Definitely worth ones consideration if the inherent strength and complexity can be overcome for those who prefer milder c

I am a beginner cigar smoker, had this as a recommendation and the guy who recommend this to me was so right. This is a mild stick with very pronounced flavours. It leaves nothing to be thought about. Very slow burning, very big smoke output ( as most drew estates ) and very good construction. First flavour notes are: pepper, wood and a small amount of cedar. Throughout the cigar the sweetness increased slightly, leaving a creamy taste on the palate. The whole smoke was enjoyable with no burning issues. This is perfect for someone who’s just starting out into cigars as it’s mild but has good flavour. The smoke left a small aftertaste similar to earthy tones ( the only thing I could describe it to ) on the palate, but that soon wore off after another draw. Overall a very good cigar, worth the money. Hope this proved helpful to anyone.
