Construction & Burn
Handmade to Davidoff’s premium standards, The Late Hour Petit Panetela is crafted with a smooth, oily Ecuadorian wrapper and a well-balanced multi-origin blend. The compact panetela format offers a refined draw and a controlled burn, giving aficionados a shorter yet elegant expression of the Late Hour blend.
Story & Concept
The Late Hour series was created to evoke the mood of late-night contemplation and creativity — a nod to the legacy of Winston Churchill. This Petit Panetela format delivers that same concept in a shorter, more convenient size, ideal for moments when time is limited but quality is still paramount. The use of tobacco aged in Scotch whisky barrels adds depth and character to the blend, making even a brief smoke a thoughtful experience.
Pairing Suggestions
Beer: Rich porter or stout — to echo the deep tones of the Late Hour tobacco blend.
Wine: A robust red like Cabernet Sauvignon or a bold Malbec — to stand up to the strength and character of the cigar.
Spirits: Peated single-malt Scotch, smoky bourbon, or a dark rum — choices that complement the Late Hour’s whisky-cask influence.
Other: Strong black coffee or espresso — for a refined, night-time classic pairing.
Overall Impression
Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Petit Panetela offers a compact, medium-full smoking experience grounded in the same blend philosophy as its larger counterparts. Its craftsmanship, premium wrapper, and whisky-barrel-aged filler make it a fine choice for aficionados seeking a quick but richly expressive smoke — perfect for evenings when time is limited but taste remains uncompromised.
