Winston Churchill - Cigar aficionado

Churchill, known for his love of cigars, led a nation and wrote speeches. He was known for his tireless work ethic. Davidoff's Collection offers diverse moments of pleasure inspired by Churchill. The blends contain tobaccos from Ecuador, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The Original Series offers six medium-intensity formats for daytime enjoyment. Therefore, as soon as the lights go out and the mood calls for more intense cigars, "The Late Hour Series" with its blend of seven different types of tobacco is the perfect choice. In particular, the filler tobacco matured in whisky barrels lends even more depth and sweetness to the complex evening enjoyment in four new formats.

In 2024, the Petit Panetela complements "The Late Hour Series". The 2020 limited edition exceeded all expectations. Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff, is positive about the permanent launch. The Petit Panetela offers the same complex taste as the long filler in the series, but in a shorter form. "I am delighted that we can now offer our aficionados this special format on a permanent basis," says Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff.

I'm as happy as a little child when I can enjoy this petit panetela again early in the morning.

Taste experience

Box of 5. Cool.

The Petit Panetela offers a 15-minute smoking experience. It is lighter than the long filler, starting with strong coffee, leather and spices. In the middle section, notes of leather, chocolate and cream unfold, reinforced by whisky barrel-matured tobacco. The finish combines black pepper, oak and strong malt flavors.

Two new humidors inspired by the raconteur

Fantastic idea! Excerpts from his book are engraved.

Davidoff introduces two new humidors inspired by Churchill. The versatile character of Churchill is reflected in the Primos and Ambassador humidors. Both feature excerpts from Churchill's book "My Early Life" and his silhouette on the lid. The light Primos humidor for 25-35 cigars symbolizes the day, the dark Ambassador for 70-80 cigars symbolizes the night. Both are handmade and optimally regulate the humidity.

You can see the engraved lettering better in the light-colored humidor. I also like the look. I actually need both humidors 😅

What is a raconteur?

A "raconteur" is someone who is particularly adept at telling stories and anecdotes. This person has the ability to entertain and captivate listeners with interesting, often humorous or unusual stories. A raconteur is characterized by wit, good observation skills and the ability to present stories in a lively and engaging way, often with a sense of dramatic flair. This trait is often associated with charismatic personalities or people who are in the public eye, such as writers, speakers or historical figures.

The history of Davidoff humidors:

First-class cigars, like good wine, need the right environment to mature and improve. Zino Davidoff was the first to research optimal storage conditions and methods for quality cigars. Absolute control over humidity and temperature is essential for humidor storage. Davidoff built his first famous cigar cellar in 1930 with these factors in mind. Aware of the limited space available to many aficionados, he then developed the first humidor. This innovation in craftsmanship, combined with Davidoff's design capabilities, created space for new inventions such as the Davidoff Regulator. This first self-regulating system made controlling hygrometers superfluous and kept cigars ready to enjoy at all times.

About Oettinger Davidoff:

The Oettinger Davidoff Group, with sales of around 500 million Swiss francs and almost 4,000 employees around the world, can trace its roots back to 1875 and is still an independent family business today. It is dedicated to the manufacture, marketing, distribution and retail sale of premium cigars, tobacco products and accessories.

The premium cigar business includes the Davidoff, AVO, Camacho, Cusano, Griffin's, Private Stock, Zino and Zino Platinum brands. The Oettinger Davidoff Group also distributes numerous brands in several countries as a general agent, including Haribo in Switzerland.

The company is strongly rooted in the "crop-to-shop" philosophy and thus follows the approach of vertical integration, from the tobacco fields in the Dominican Republic and Honduras to the worldwide network of 65 Davidoff flagship stores/satellites and strong authorized dealers in over 130 countries.

  1. I still have 2 tins of the LE and I'm curious to see if they taste the same as the new edition 🤩
    I also regretted the fact that it was sold out pretty quickly.

    1. Hi Jörg, I can no longer compare it (I didn't write a report back then and didn't make any notes). I just remember that I thought they were great. My report on the new cigar with clip will be coming soon. ...Spoiler alert: I gave it 94 ZiZo points for the three cigars I tested.

      1. Hello Vasilij

        I could bring you a pack of the "old" ones for your 10th anniversary if you want to make a comparison.
        Your palate is better trained than mine 😅
        Best regards Jörg

  2. Hello Vailij, I can still remember well that I regretted at the time that the Petit Panetela was only available in limited quantities. The fact that you ordered 10 cans is quite an announcement 🙂
