Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series taste like?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series is a medium-strength cigar with flavors built around cedar, leather, and black pepper in the first third. The middle opens into roasted nuts, cream, and baking spice. The final third settles into cocoa and subtle wood smoke. It's smooth from start to finish, never aggressive, with consistent construction throughout.
What's the blend on the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series uses an Ecuadorian Rojiza wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder, and five filler tobaccos from two countries. Three come from the Dominican Republic — piloto mejorado seco, piloto seco, and a hybrid olor/piloto seco. Two come from Nicaragua, specifically seco leaf from Condega and Estelí. All cigars are handmade at Davidoff's factory in the Dominican Republic.
Where is the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series made?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series is made at Davidoff's own factory in the Dominican Republic. It was the first non-Davidoff-branded cigar to be rolled in that facility when it launched in 2007. The line was fully reblended and relaunched in 2015 under the Davidoff name with new packaging, a new blend, and vitola names tied to facets of Churchill's character.
Who is the Davidoff Winston Churchill named after?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill is named after Sir Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister and one of history's most famous cigar smokers. The line was developed in partnership with his grandson, Winston S. Churchill. The vitolas in the Original Series each carry a name tied to a different side of Churchill's character — The Aristocrat (Churchill), The Commander (Toro), The Statesman (Robusto), and The Artist (Petit Corona).
How strong is the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series is a medium-bodied smoke. It carries more complexity than a mild cigar but stays well short of full strength. Experienced smokers will find it accessible and refined. It's positioned as a daytime blend — Davidoff developed The Late Hour Series separately for smokers who want something bolder.
What sizes and prices does Renegade Cigars carry for the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series?
Renegade carries four vitolas in single-cigar, multi-pack, and box formats. Petit Corona (4½×41) at $15.90 per cigar or $318.00 for a box of 20. Robusto (5¼×52) at $24.10 per cigar or $482.00 for a box of 20. Toro (6×54) at $26.30 per cigar. Churchill (6⅞×47) at $27.80 per cigar or $556.00 for a box of 20. Four-packs are also available for all three larger sizes.
Is the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series a limited edition or regular production?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series is regular production and available year-round. Davidoff does release annual limited editions under the Winston Churchill name — each in a single vitola with unique packaging tied to a specific Churchill theme — but those are separate from the core Original Series line carried at Renegade.
Is the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series good for newer cigar smokers?
Yes. The medium strength and smooth profile make it one of the more approachable cigars in the Davidoff portfolio. The construction is reliable — consistent draw and even burn. If you're newer to premium cigars and want something with real complexity without being overpowering, the Petit Corona or Robusto are good starting points.
How does the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series compare to The Late Hour?
Both lines share a Mexican San Andrés binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, but the blends diverge from there. The Original Series uses an Ecuadorian Rojiza wrapper and presents as a medium-strength, cream-and-cedar profile. The Late Hour uses a darker Ecuadorian habano wrapper and is noticeably fuller-bodied with more pronounced spice and oak. If you've smoked the Original Series and want more intensity, The Late Hour is the logical next step.
What whisky or spirit pairs well with the Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series?
The Davidoff Winston Churchill Original Series pairs well with aged rum, cognac, or single malt Scotch. The cedar and roasted nut notes hold up against spirit weight without getting lost. Espresso works equally well. Avoid anything too sweet or fruit-forward — it will flatten the tobacco's complexity rather than complement it.
