Davidoff Winston Churchill The Original Robusto

Named in tribute to Sir Winston Churchill, a famously devoted cigar smoker, this line is Davidoff's multinational blend and a clear step up in body from the brand's Dominican classics. The Original Robusto — sometimes called the "Statesman" — measures 5¼ by 52 and is the everyday workhorse of the range.

What it tastes like

The dark, reddish Ecuador Habano wrapper sits over a Mexican San Andrés binder and Dominican-plus-Nicaraguan filler, giving a balanced medium-bodied smoke. Look for cedar, coffee, pepper, leather, and a touch of dried fruit. It's more characterful and spicier than the Signature or Grand Cru lines but still carries Davidoff's hallmark smoothness and construction.

Who it's for

A versatile everyday robusto for smokers who want medium body with real flavor and a bit of complexity. It's an easy companion to a coffee, a Scotch, or an aged rum.

If you want the whisky-cask-aged version of this concept, the bolder Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro is the one to try. For more on how this multinational blend compares with pure Nicaraguan smokes, see our Cuban vs Nicaraguan guide, then log it in the Casa DNC app.
