The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Belicoso brings one of the world’s most celebrated cigar lines to a shorter, pocket-friendly format without sacrificing a single note of complexity. Its dark Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper and Scotch whisky cask-aged Condega filler deliver a distinctive profile of espresso, dark chocolate, leather and oak. Perfect for a quick 20 to 25 minute smoke when time is at a premium.
The Davidoff Late Hour range is an intense, multi-origin blend crafted as an homage to Sir Winston Churchill’s legendary habit of late-night writing sessions, where he found his brightest inspiration in the quiet hours of the night. Unlike standard releases, this line features a genuine industry first in tobacco innovation.
The secret to this blend’s remarkable depth is the Nicaraguan Condega leaves, which are aged for 6 months in the finest first-fill single malt Scotch whisky casks. This process releases a mysterious sweetness, deep wood aromas, and a malted complexity. Channelled through the sharp, tapered head of the Belicoso figurado format, these intense flavours are delivered directly and cleanly to the palate from the very first draw.
Davidoff Cigars was founded by Zino Davidoff, widely remembered as the “King of Cigars”, in Switzerland in 1946. Davidoff Cigars represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury. From their state-of-the-art factories and fields in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, Davidoff’s master blenders source the finest wrapper, binder, and filler leaves across the globe to deliver their trademark construction, effortless draw, and complex flavour development.
The wider Davidoff Winston Churchill selection offers an array of profiles celebrating the many facets of the great man himself. For a daytime smoke, explore the lighter, creamier white-label profiles including the iconic, Churchill-sized Aristocrat Churchill Cigar. For an after-dinner companion, the dark-wrappered Late Hour series remains unmatched for depth and intensity.
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Belicoso opens with robust notes of black pepper, dark coffee, and old oak. As the tapered figurado format channels the smoke, the profile evolves to showcase rich dark chocolate, leather, and a distinct, mysterious sweetness derived from the whisky cask-aged filler tobaccos. It delivers a full-bodied, intense, and deeply satisfying 25-minute smoke.
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Belicoso is equally at home with a cup of coffee or an aged brandy or rum. Try with Clos Martin XO Armagnac.
