Initial Impressions

Appearance: 89
Olfactory property: 91
Structure: 89

"Right off the bat, I noticed that this 1 isn't the prettiest lancero I've come across. Information technology has a couple of lighter spots and small-scale veins running along its length." –Milton(mjohnsoniii)

"Leather, cocoa and barnyard." –Derek(lilninjabuddy)

"Very nice aroma, smells like cappuccino with nutmeg" –Ron(shuckins)

"Nice tight seams.  Even house pack along the whole length.  Neat triple cap with a little hog tail." –Brian(B-daddy)

Starting time Third

Flavor: 90
Strength: Medium
Trunk/Complication: Medium

"Balmy start with sweet tobacco gustation, spicy coffee with nutmeg season and a lite cedar palatableness." –Ron(shuckins)

"Initially quite polish. Rich chocolate, with espresso and wood undertones. Flavor is thick and syrupy, and the fume is creamy. Burn from the start is razor precipitous. At an inch in, the espresso becomes the dominant flavor, the cocoa settling in the back. Dry wood, cedar spices and blackness pepper remain in play equally well. The smoke seems to be alternating betwixt a dry smoke and a thick creamy smoke. At about two inches, the pepper kicks it up a notch and coats the palate." –Derek(lilninjabuddy)

Second 3rd

Flavor: 90
Strength: Medium
Body/Complexity: Medium

"Through the second third, spice dies down but is replaced with a squeamish creaminess with some sweetness and well-nigh similar a raisen season equally well. Prissy flavors. Having a little trouble with the draw and smoke production starting into this tertiary of the smoke" –Nicholas(volpow61)

"At the start of the second third, the flavors practice not modify, but their strength does. The flavors take turns at the front. Wood, pepper, cocoa, espresso and the cedary spice all appear as the principal flavor, taking their turn literally from puff to puff. While not especially complex, the cigar is proving quite interesting! At the midway indicate, a slight raisiny sweetness appears. Not quite to the strength of a Fuente Unnamed, but very similar in nature." –Derek(lilninjabuddy)

Terminal Third

Flavor: 90
Strength: Medium-Strong
Trunk/Complexity: Medium

The flavor profile from the second tertiary continues through virtually of the final third.  Earthy and leathery.  A piffling spice on the end.  Notwithstanding getting some hints of chocolate, too.  Toward the cease of the final tertiary, I beginning getting a little soapy bitterness.  Not bad, interesting." –Brian(B-daddy)

Changed directions with lot'southward more than wood, coffee and peppery tobacco flavors the closer to the cease information technology got." –Ron(shuckins)

Overall Impressions

Draw: 88
Burn: 89
Overall Forcefulness: Medium
Overall Body: Medium

"Tight draw most way through specially mid manner to the end." –Nicholas(volpow61)

"Good burn from offset to terminate (almost).  Surprisingly good smoke volume for a pocket-sized ring estimate.  However, with about an inch to get, the cigar of a sudden goes out.  (Might have had something to do with ~100% humidity outside.) Weird.  Flavors weren't expert when I relit, then I just concluded information technology there." –Brian(B-daddy)

Overall Feel: 91
Smoking Fourth dimension (in minutes): 82

"Despite the tight draw, the flavors of this cigar were quite pleasant. I know depict issues are prevalent with lanceros, and are but inherent to the format. I'm betting this would become from a expert cigar to a great cigar without the overly tight depict. Definitely one I'd want to revisit." –Derek(lilninjabuddy)

"I've never been a huge fan of lanceros, only lately, they accept been very good and this is yet another one that proves information technology. I'm definitely going to be adding more to the stash for future smoking enjoyment. Hopefully these will be some that will be relatively easy to get a hold of." –Milton(mjohnsoniii)

"I enjoyed this cigar.  Nice season profile and adept burn/construction throughout.  However, I got a little bit tired of the flavors after well-nigh an hour and a one-half.  Maybe if the last third would take evolved a piddling, information technology would have been "great." –Brian(B-daddy)

"Overall non an enjoyable smoke to me just because of the draw and fume production couldn't produce whatever good flavor by the mid manner betoken." –Nicholas(volpow61)

"I enjoyed this cigar, information technology was never boring, had lot'due south of season changes, and built to a very nice terminate." –Ron(shuckins)

Total Score: 90 (very proficient)
