The Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Limited Edition 2020 Petit Panetela features a partially unusual size for a limited edition. Compared to previous releases (Robusto and Toro size), this cigar has decidedly smaller dimensions.
It is sold in small metal tins that house 5 cigars. Production is limited to 10,000 of these tins, for a total of 50,000 cigars produced.
The uniqueness of the tobaccos used, lies in the fact that they are matured in barrels of Scotch whisky before being rolled.
The cigar has a Colorado Maduro shaded wrapper, that is smooth to the touch. It is dressed in two bands, one bearing the Winston Churchill brand, strictly black since it is the “Late Hour” line, and the other with the wording “Limited Edition 2020”.

Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Limited Edition 2020 Petit Panetela: unlit, hints of cocoa. The opening reveals notes that resemble milk chocolate, supported by a white pepper spice.
The first half of the smoke releases aromas of wood and earth. There are also nuances of nuts, mainly walnut, in the aftertaste. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the second half, the cigar turns to flavors composed mainly of wood and spices, the latter also present in the aftertaste and dominated by black pepper. The finish is toasty. Strength increases slightly (3.5/5).
Overall, the Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Limited Edition 2020 Petit Panetela is a fairly short smoke, under around 15 minutes. The cigar performs better in the first half, where the flavor profile is fresher and broader. It declines a bit in the second half. It remains a discreet quick smoke, another alternative in an increasingly popular segment.
