"It is a great lancero. The flavors were bold and crisp with enough strength to provide body and depth. I realize that I forgot to mention this earlier but the smoke output was fantastic and the ash had a constant plume of smoke coming off of it. It's an easy recommendation for me and worth picking up a fiver. " -Alan (Eulogy)
Overall, it does what you expect from a great cigar. Profile changes, solid flavors throughout, great smoke output, solid draw, and rich creamy smoke. The burn was spot on throughout requiring no touch ups or relights. The construction was top notch from the appearance of the wrapper, solid feel, tight strong ash, and perfect draw. It's a surprisingly long smoke for its size too, taking me a little over two hours. Certainly worth picking up a few if you can find them.

·"I really enjoyed this cigar. I had a very hard time describing the flavors but they were good and they were stronger than I thought they would be from the look of the cigar. This was a cigar I'd buy a box of." -Paul (pmr1010)

"This was a nice easy smoke. If you are drinking I would not pair with something strong at first because it would most likely wash out and flavor from the cigar. Sweet and cedar I saltiness to be the backbone of this cigar. Mix that with some saltiness." -Jake P. (Jake P.)
From the first third to the final third I really enjoyed this cigar. If I could smoke all cigars in this format I would be a happy fella as lonsdale is typically my favorite size in any cigar this is just a slightly thicker lonsdale coming in at a 6 1/4 x 48. The cigar had a consistent profile from beginning to end but I thoroughly enjoyed the smoking experience. I would probably rate this cigar a bit higher if it had a bit more of a wow factor but I would be happy to have boxes of these.
