Davidoff Late Hour

[Ritch]

Finally managed to get a box of Davidoff Late Hours the other day. Went for the Toro. 

I have been wanting to try these for a while as they seem to get a lot of praise.

Typical amazing NC construction. Nice taste, will no doubt get better with some rest. Fantastic presentation box. 

Slight whisky after taste. Would no doubt pair well with a whiskey.

Has anyone else tried one?

One of the best NC I've had.

Big fan.  There was a thread about them here not long ago I think.  The robusto is my preferred, but I got a deal on the toro (I'm guessing same as you) and have been pretty darn happy with them as well.

I have them in all sizes. Good smoke but I'm hoping age will bring them in to better balance. Just a bit of angularity to them right now.

Very good stick. I prefer the toro size myself. If you're looking for another good NC to get into and you can find it, the La Aurora 115th Anniversary stick is a great cigar. One of, if not, the best cigar I had this year. Wish I had a box of those.

I've smoked these in all three vitolas.  Not a bad cigar at all.  I like the robustos the best, then the churchills.

I had both the regular Winston Churchill in Churchill and the Late Hour. I felt the Late Hour wasn't as balanced and I enjoyed the flavor profile of the regular line more. In fact, of the few Davidoff I've tried the regular Winston Churchill is the only one I've enjoyed enough to say I would spend the money to try again. They are definitely quality cigars but just not my bag for the coin.

Easily the most popular / successful new line from Davidoff in a while.  They're extremely popular here in the store.  I'm hoping they eventually expand the range and do a diadema and a corona in the Late Hour blend.

I tried the Robusto, it was a good stick but have had other NC just as good or better at a far lower price point.

I thought it was pretty awful but to each his/her own...

Smoking one right now and the poster. I agree with. Best noncuban or one of the best on the US market right now. Fantastic!!

How much flavor does the barrel aging impart on these?

I got a taste and aroma of whisky in parts. I suspect pairing with whisky may be the way forward. Shall revisit in a few months when they have had time to rest.

I wonder how much of the popularity for Davidoff is legacy versus current cigar production. I've had a couple, found them to be overpriced, and no better than a $4-5 NC. Having said that, I haven't tried a late hour specifically. It all just goes to the subjectivity of taste. For me, I could live off of Fuentes and Padrons. Just had an Arturo Fuente Anejo and it blew my damn mind.

@SmokyFontaineArturo Fuente Anejo is one of my favorites. An excellent cigar.
