It’s been often said that Sir Winston Churchill would spend time in the Late Hours behind closed doors working in solitude or with trusted colleagues. During these Late Hour moments he was never without a cigar and often he was with an exceptional scotch as well. Davidoff brings together that moment with the Winston Churchill Late Hour. The Late Hour cigar is meant to be enjoyed when the end of the evening is the start of […]
Happy Birthday Winston Churchill and a huge loud jeer to Google for not having a doodle on their homepage celebrating the 143rd Birthday of one of the greatest leaders of the free world.

The Davidoff Master Selection 2013 created a renewed interest for me in Davidoff cigars. The cigar absolutely blew me away and as a result it scored a 97. This month and for the next few months Davidoff will release a limited Edition Master Selection. August sees the release of the 2010 Edition and we can only hope it continues the path set forth by the 2013 which was the blend for Eladio Diaz’ 60th birthday. […]
Well Rocky Patel was supposed to be a guest on The Cigar Authority even confirming it at IPCPR in Las Vegas. But, he’s on a well deserved vacation in Wyoming where evidently they don’t have cell phone service.

The boys are back and we will discuss IPCPR with Steve Saka from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust as we light up his Mi Querida in the first hour of the show.

In the second hour we will light up the new Winston Churchill Late Hour from Davidoff Cigars as we […]
