Davidoff Wsc The Late Hour
The cigar wakes up with a calm, even light, giving off a mild aroma that feels familiar even if you’ve never had this blend before. The aroma isn’t loud, but it has that comfortable, lived-in quality that makes the space feel settled. Without really planning to, you slow your breathing down to match its pace. There’s a thin line of smoke that hangs in the air a bit longer than you expect from the first pulls. It feels less like the start of an event and more like slipping back into a familiar chair.
Flavor and Character
Near the end the profile narrows down to its core character You might sit for an extra minute before you realize you haven’t picked up your phone yet. Without you really noticing when it happened you realize you’re timing your thoughts between draws instead of checking your watch and the rest of the noise from the day sits a few steps farther away.
In the final third the smoke grows thicker and presses a little harder on the palate You’re left more with the memory of the time you spent than any one flavor. By the time the ash has stacked once or twice you realize you’re timing your thoughts between draws instead of checking your watch and the rest of the noise from the day sits a few steps farther away. A little further along the smoke thickens and carries more weight on the palate mixing gentle pepper with calm, roasted undertones. The change is slow, but it makes the cigar feel more complete.
The Experience
Moving into the early third the profile stretches into a clearer mix of notes showing a line of warm spice over a simple, grounded tobacco core. The result is a profile that feels familiar in a good way. In the final third the blend leans into its darker notes and lets the lighter ones fade back It leaves a low, steady warmth sitting in the chest for a while after it’s out. A little further along the flavors start to show more of themselves with touches of coffee, dry cocoa, and a bit of wood weaving together. It comes across relaxed, more about staying steady than chasing surprises.
