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.

Its tasteful gold and royal navy band, dark attractive maduro wrapper and overall impressive presentation promise a great experience.
In fact it starts rather blandly with earthy, shallow tones dominating the first third of the cigar. Suddenly however, with a sudden rush, spice and pepper awake and begin to, at first dominate, and then balance the flavours and this becomes a weighty, majestic stick.
Its not harsh but certainly a heavy cigar that rewards patience and paired with a good, sipping Rye encourages melancholy and reflection as the clouds of dense smoke envelop you and tobacco settles into a grounded, even and flavoursome experience.
Not terribly nuanced perhaps but certainly an example of a thoughtful process that results in a great, leisured sit down.
This smoker might prefer mellower and sweeter but at this price point and considering the impressive built and burn its hard to put down and not demand a few more for your humidor moments after you are done and the cigar slowly dies down.

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
