If you purchase this product you will earn Winston Churchill The Late Hour Series Petit Panetela
The Late Hour Petit Panetela captures the bold, complex spirit of Churchill’s legendary late-night sessions, delivering Davidoff’s renowned construction in a quick, full-flavored format. Crafted with premium Ecuadorian wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan Condega visus (aged in original Scottish single malt whisky casks) and Estelí fillers, this cigar is famous for packing robust, whisky-tinged complexity into a 4 x 38 panetela—perfect for short, contemplative breaks and refined evenings.
- Ecuadorian wrapper with a dark, oily sheen provides deep chocolate color and full-bodied complexity
- Nicaraguan Condega (whisky-cask aged) and Estelí fillers offer layered oak, cocoa, pepper, cedar, and smoky-sweet whisky influence
- Full-bodied yet accessible: delivers intensity in a thirty-minute size, ideal for on-the-go or focused relaxation
- Signature Davidoff construction—basic draw, slow burn, and remarkable flavor transitions in a petite profile
- Oak, leather, pepper, cedar, dark chocolate, subtle chili, and sherried whisky notes keep the smoke lively and engaging
- Perfect for pairing with sherried Scotch, dark coffee, or a robust bourbon
The smoke opens with bold pepper, quickly mellowing into leather, chocolate, and touches of whisky cask and chili spice. The retrohale amps up the complexity—smoky, sherried, and peppery, but never abrasive. Construction is flawless and flavor-forward, allowing for contemplative enjoyment without committing to a larger Churchill format. Both collectors and newcomers praise the cigar’s blend of accessibility, craftsmanship, and unique whisky cask aging that sets the Late Hour line apart in Davidoff’s range.

This one was a bold little smoke. Great flavor and construction. Peppery to start then smoothed out. Burned a little longer than I had expected and was definitely a typical Davidoff experience which is all I could ask for and more.

I picked up a pack of these to celebrate my grandson being born as I knew we wouldn’t be able to enjoy a full-sized cigar. They were a hit for sure with exceptional flavor, good burn, and a nice 25 minute smoke for us. Perfect for the occasion and recommended.

I love the Late Hour. It is one of my favorite Davidoff lines they make. I wasn’t in love with this vitola though. It wasn’t awful. It just wasn’t the same for me. I can’t really put my finger on it. Just didn’t smoke the same.

The Late Hour is one of Davidoff’s best lines, but the smallest format that it previously came in was a robusto – these new panatelas display the best aspects of the larger vitolas, condensed into a thirty minute cigar. The cigar takes off like a firework – there’s no gentle crescendo, this is full-on from the get go. I’d compare this smaller-sized cigar to the middle and final two thirds of its larger brethren – leather, spices, scotch cask, cedar, dark chocolate, and chili. Yes – while you do have to ‘look’ for it, the cigar does indeed have a taste that’s reminiscent of oak wood and sherried whisky tannins (it’s truly in there), though it stands in balance to the rest of the flavours as an accent and not as the most dominant note. Body is full, strength is approximately a medium.
My bias toward Davidoff aside, this is an excellent cigar; it is very expensive, but if quality rather than quantity is your priority, these are well worth your money. I’d recommend a lower-ABV sherried Scotch or (even better) a South or Central American coffee (or double espresso) as accompaniment – a glass of water on the side to keep the palate fresh so you don’t miss anything would also be a solid addition.
