Cohiba Lancero Unknown (CRW)

[nKostyan]

This is my first Cohiba Lancero

This cigar was given to me by a colleague after a holiday in Spain. He does not feel the taste of most Cuban cigars, because of what he was upset, but I opened for him the world of NC - the palate is powerful, full bodied maduro cigars. He smoked my Padron Maduro and came to work the next day with burning eyes: "I felt the taste of a cigar for the first time!!!". Now we regularly exchange gifts - I gift to him NCs, he gift to me CCs...

 

Aroma at cold: cedar and vanilla

1/3: cedar, melted milk, sweet caramel. Only delicate puffs, otherwise you got tannins.

2/3: there is almost no evolution of taste, except that the tobacco was warmed up and soaked in resins, the cigar became shorter - the taste, strength, body intensified. Very good balance. Only towards the end added the taste of roasted hazelnuts. I was waiting for something powerful in the style of Siglo I, but more complex. And finally, towards the end of the third cigar gained peak form: a lot of smoke, a lot of taste, good strength. Now you can do a deep puff, no tannins there.

3/3: cigar continued in the style of the end 2/3 - excellent taste.

Conclusion: I liked this cigar. It combines a delicate beginning and a jet final fireworks. 5/5 stars

I really like LGC MdO #4! Now I must try the COLA since I also like skinnies!

That slow build up in taste seems to be a trademark of the Lancero, every one I’ve had has exhibited this - with every puff being more flavorful and richer than the last. An amazing cigar.

Wish I could gift NC and get back some lanceros! But solid review the one I've smoked from 2001 was the best cigar I've ever had vanilla, grass, and milk it was gorgeous and classy have become quickly my favorite vitola over the beloved Churchills alot more complexity and flavor in a lanceros or skinny cigar for that matter great review!
