El Triunfador Lanceros

[cf2112]

This was gift from Mitch and he gave me two so I could share with a friend, but due to a small family crisis my buddy is out of touch for a while (we were to smoke the Tat Blacks which I'll wait for his return) I decided to fire this one up after a round of golf yesterday.

I had had a few frosty cold beers but decided to switch to Mojito's for this cigar. It started with an ice coffee taste smooth and cool almost menthol like, it could be the mint in the Mojito so I switched to coffee. This was a great choice as the coffee really made the flavor jump out. Coffee and an almond like nuttiness stayed through the first half with a floral note trying to come through, then a toasty sweetness showed up (like a smores with the marshmallow gooy not burnt) this lasted only a few drags then it was creamy coffee with a cinnamon/nutmeg spice and the finish was looooooong.

I think you could pass this cigar off as Cuban to 90% of smokers and my friend will not see it's brother.

Thanks Mitch and I look forward to trying the other cigars you gifted me but this one is going to be hard to beat.

Rob smokes NC's???:clap:

Just yankin' your chain. The El Triunfador is a phenominal smoke and I am extremely glad that I got the 2nd box to put away.

I still smoke a few and those are mostly Nic tobacco and puro's. Most Dom tobacco has that metallic taste, Hon tobacco just seems bland. Padron just about any will do and an occasional Anejo (46 or 77) are still in the rotation. The Oliva O Torps have been good for the most part I have been underwhelmed by Tat's (I'll try the Blacks soon) but for $$ I do prefer one country's puro's.

I have a golfing buddy who always gives me a NC cigar bandless trying to get me to admit I like them. Only once did I ask him what a cigar was and I hate to admit it but it was a special release Gurkha something that was good. It is usaully a CI special 5 Vegas, Legends last time it was one with a sweetend tip and that was the first one I tossed on the spot.

I now know where to get some more of El Triunfador:devil:

I love these sticks. I gave one to a local B&M who said he never heard of them. What kind of cigar store doesn't know. Especially when they carry Tat's. Well, he went Ape shit. Said it was the best of Pete's line he has ever smoked. I should be in the business if this guy (who is one of the largest internet cigar sellers) does not know what the hell is going on. I also threw a couple of Franks at him, and of course he said "what are these"? I think I am done sharin these with him if he has such a closed mind with the market. Shit, I should be in the business. Great sticks, both of them.
