About the Winston Churchill Line
Davidoff launched the Winston Churchill in 2007, and halfwheel reported it was meant to be the first cigar outside the White Label family produced at the company’s Dominican factory. An entirely new four-country recipe replaced it in 2015, and Davidoff now sells that blend beside The Late Hour Series as The Original Series.
Pairing and Storage
Rated mild-medium to medium, this Toro fits the medium picks in our cigar pairing guide, where bourbon or coffee leaves room for its pepper and cocoa.
