Sir Winston Churchill was a man of many talents and facets. From the early morning until the early hours of the following day, the prowess of this great man never ceased. Even when darkness descended, he continued to inspire all those around him. It was during these moments, after an entire day spent leading a powerful empire, engaging in influential negotiations over dinner tables and in conferences, that he penned his renowned speeches and books – often accompanied by the pleasure of a cigar. Davidoff captured the intricate nature of Sir Winston and expertly created a cigar sourced from various regions, perfectly suited for the hours after sunset.
For a cigar suited to the later hours of the day, Davidoff handpicked a lustrous and oily Ecuadorian wrapper in a delightful dark chocolate colour. The two Nicaraguan filler tobaccos cultivated in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of Condega and Estelí contribute spiciness and rich character to the «The Late Hour Series» Churchill. In particular, the Nicaraguan Condega visus tobacco, aged in original Scottish first-fill single malt whisky casks, imparts a mysterious sweetness. With a complex and intense blend of tobaccos from multiple origins, this cigar holds a full-bodied profile and robust flavours perfect for the experienced aficionado.
The Davidoff Winston Churchill «The Late Hour Series» Churchill is ideally paired with a heavy and spicy rum that is not too sweet, as the cigar needs to be enjoyed with a beverage which enhances its elaborate character.

Davidoff:
Davidoff’s story begins with Zino Davidoff, who was born in Kyiv in 1906 before his family moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where they opened a small tobacco shop. As a young man, Zino travelled through South and Central America to learn about tobacco cultivation and cigar making. When he returned to Geneva, he introduced new ideas to the shop, including ageing cigars in controlled humidors and educating customers about proper storage and enjoyment.
His philosophy centred on refinement, patience, and craftsmanship. Over time the Davidoff name became associated with carefully selected tobacco, elegant presentation, and a focus on balance and consistency. In the late 20th century the brand established production in the Dominican Republic, where skilled rollers and carefully aged tobaccos continue the traditions that Zino Davidoff helped shape in the world of premium cigars.
