Cigar Review for Davidoff The Late Hour
My Review
A little bit of a tight draw but not too bad. Very dark bitter flavors to begin with.
About 30 minutes in, not too much difference in the taste so far. It may have mellowed out a little bit. I'm about halfway through the cigar at this point.
I'm at an hour and 40 minutes. Close to the end, the flavor has a bit more depth to it. Overall the flavor is pretty good, but at this price point, around $35, there are better cigars out there.
