Davidoff Winston Churchill Cigars
The Davidoff Winston Churchill range combines the brand's heritage with the legacy of its namesake. The collection includes Original and Late Hour cigars, available in singles, travel tins, and boxes.
Collection Overview
Davidoff's Winston Churchill cigars honor the UK statesman's documented preference for varied smoking experiences. The range features a white-label Original Series for regular use and a black-label Late Hour Series designed for evening enjoyment. Sizes include the Churchill-inspired Aristocrat and compact Petit Pantelas, named after aspects of Churchill's character.
Blend Composition
Original Series utilizes Dominican filler and binder tobaccos wrapped in an Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf. Late Hour Series combines Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers with a dark Nicaraguan binder, finished with a Colorado Maduro wrapper from Ecuador's Andean region.
Flavor Characteristics
The Original Series presents cream and nut undertones balanced by coffee accents. Late Hour cigars develop deeper notes of aged oak barrels, leather, and dark chocolate, achieved through six-month barrel aging of selected tobaccos.
Both series maintain Davidoff's construction standards, using priming-specific leaves from Yamasá, Piloto, and San Vicente Mexicano seed varietals. Packaging options range from individual tubes to 25-count boxes with humidity control.
