Storage Instructions
For the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro (20) store your cigars in a well seasoned humidor set to 65 to 70% relative humidity, with 68% being an ideal target. Keep temperature steady between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC) to preserve oils and prevent wrapper stress. This release features a richer, slightly oilier Ecuadorian Habano style wrapper and a Dominican blend finished in whisky casks, so steady humidity is especially important to avoid bloom or cracking. If you must transport cigars, use a travel humidor or two way humidity packs to maintain a stable environment. Avoid rapid changes in humidity and temperature, and keep the humidor away from direct sunlight, radiators, and air vents.
Care Tips
Handle the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro (20) gently to protect the wrapper. Hold the cigar near the body rather than squeezing the cap when preparing to cut. Store cigars upright or lying flat and rotate them periodically in the humidor so all sticks experience the same conditions. Allow freshly shipped cigars to acclimate in your humidor for at least two to four weeks before smoking, and consider longer aging if you prefer a more integrated and mellow profile. For long term aging you can expect notable development between six months and two years depending on taste. Keep strongly aromatic items out of the same humidor to avoid flavor transfer, and never store cigars in a refrigerator or freezer. With careful handling and steady humidity the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro (20) will reward you with consistent construction and the full late hour character intended by the blend.

History and Heritage
The Late Hour is a distinguished expression in the Winston Churchill family, created as a tribute to the statesman and to his affinity for late night reflection. Davidoff developed the line with a focus on depth and refinement by using a dark Maduro wrapper that is aged in single malt Scotch whisky barrels to add subtle sweetness and complexity. Crafted by Davidoff’s experienced blending team in the Dominican Republic, the Late Hour carries the brand’s reputation for meticulous construction and premium tobaccos. The Toro format offers a balanced burn and allows the whisky influenced wrapper to reveal its full array of flavors as the cigar progresses.
Tasting Notes
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro (20) offers a refined, medium‑to‑full bodied experience that unfolds with immediate depth and polish. Expect concentrated notes of espresso and dark chocolate up front, layered with black pepper, cedar and a touch of aged leather; mid‑palate brings a ribbon of molasses, dried fig and warm baking spice. The finish is long and velvety, revealing subtle sweetness and toasted oak, a suggestive echo of late‑hour barrel influence that rounds the smoke without overpowering it. Aromas before and during the smoke are rich and inviting: freshly ground coffee, cocoa powder, toasted cedar and a whisper of sweet spice that entices the senses.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged dark rum, its caramel and molasses character mirrors the cigar’s sweet‑barrel notes and amplifies the molasses and fig nuances; Single‑origin espresso (ristretto), the concentrated coffee brightens the cigar’s espresso and cocoa facets while cleansing the palate between draws; 70–80% dark chocolate or a rich chocolate tart, the bitter‑sweet cocoa harmonizes with the cigar’s chocolate and spice layers, creating a luxurious, dessert‑like finale.
