The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro

           Esteemed with legendary status among cigar aficionados, Davidoff has managed to establish itself as the King of Dominican cigars from its seemingly unnatural and far removed home in Switzerland. Founded by Zino Davidoff, who began selling tobacco products from his Geneva shop in the mid-1930’s, Davidoff has become a favourite of cigar connoisseurs, with extraordinary collections of specially made cigars unmatched by any other brand.

 

            Hand made in The Dominican Republic, Davidoff has maintained the superior quality of its products by carefully selecting the finest individual leaves from the best estates in the most suitable areas of the Dominican Republic. Aging their tobacco for four years, Davidoff has refined its methodology for nurturing the consistently rich and aromatic flavours associated with their cigars.

            The Winston Churchill Late Hour is a particularly good example of Davidoff’s special collections, infused with cask aged scotch whiskey and encased in a dark, moist and almost oily wrapper, smoking the Winston Churchill Late Hour is not just a casual activity, it is an event. Building in intensity, this cigar is reminiscent of a fine cognac, beginning with rich and aromatic spicy and oaky notes and then finishing with an equally powerful fruitiness which lingers on the tongue.

Having spent time with José Antonio Capia Linares, Ambassador of the Dominican Republic, we can speak to the importance the Dominican Government places on its relations with its important trading partners. Davidoff is a prime example of how effective these relationships can be, bringing together the traditions and agricultural riches of the Dominicans and the vision and technical prowess of the Swiss to create what may be the world’s preeminent brand of cigars.
