A cigar test is subjective

Note: How the cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room has an influence on the experienced taste. The notes described here therefore do not have to match your own impressions.

Lighting is super easy. You just have to know the trick to light this Perfecto format. Just light the small, open area at the base of the cigar and pull gently. The rest of the smoldering over the first tip hurdle is done by the tobacco itself.

I love this format.

Second half

  • It develops constantly and slowly. It becomes more voluminous in the last third or so (even more wood, cocoa and nutty flavors).
  • At the finale, at the last tip, so to speak, she gets a powerful boost and can suddenly become a bit snappy. She just needs to acclimatize.

The ash is compact and firm. In one of the four specimens, it was flaky and brittle.

Conclusion Davidoff Winston Churchill Limited Edition 2022

This novelty from Oettinger Davidoff is a successful work. I really enjoyed smoking all four of them. The different flavor components have a very good balance. They harmonize on the tongue and retronasally. I don't know if you can see the satisfied smile on my face? Probably not... ?

As always, "If the cigar tastes good to me, then maybe to you. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!" 🙂

It glows almost perfectly and straight. In the four specimens, there was some skewed burning from about the middle. Most of the time it corrected itself quickly. Once I had to help with the flame (with all four examples). A totally relaxed and uncomplicated smoke.

The four copies gave me a lot of pleasure and enjoyment.

Tip for beginners: If the cigar glows wedge-shaped at the beginning, why this happens and what you can do

Davidoff Winston Churchill Limited Edition 2022
Tip for beginners: With Perfecto formats, it can happen at the beginning that the tobacco glows inwards in a wedge shape at one point. This is not a fault of the cigar. The tobacco cannot always be optimally placed in the narrow tip. After all, this is a product made by hand. And a human being is not a machine that performs the same work step with the same movements every time. Just let the cigar smoulder. This usually corrects itself after a few minutes. If not, help carefully with the flame.

  1. Very promising tasting report.
    I'm not a particularly big Davidoff fan. But the Late Hour series definitely meets my taste. But you always have to dig a little deeper into your pocket. The Double Perfecto looks incredibly beautiful. The presentation is also very successful. I'm going to ask my trusted cigar dealer for my allocation - preferably a box to store and x cigars to taste.
    Thank you Vasilij for letting over 100 Stutz go up in smoke for us.

    1. Hello Andreas, with pleasure. The boxes are really very nice, and the authentic-looking letter from Churchill's nephew also makes a great impression (although of course it was printed many times over). Still, a very nice detail.
