Alright ladies and gents, so I braved the Albany snow in order to have a stick, and I was pleasantly surprised!
This cigar was gifted to me by strife, and before that, I've never heard of it before. This stick is a 6'' by 38 RG. I usually go for stuff a bit thicker, but I'm trying to diversify my smoking preferences.
This cigar is a beautiful dark brown, with veins definitely visible, yet subtle. It had a peppery, leathery aroma, and a medium to tight draw on it.
It lit up quite easily, and I immediately tasted pepper. Nice pepper through the nose, with a surprisingly smooth finish.
The weather was nice and cold, but not windy at all which was nice. I absolutely LOVE the snow, so that's why I decided to enjoy a stick today.
The stick burned quite well in the beginning, but after the first third, the ash was crooked and the burn uneven. It required a few touchups, but it might have been because of the snow somehow.
I was very confused with this stick. I could not divide the flavor profile into thirds, as it changed throughout the cigar. It started off peppery, and transformed almost immediately into a sweeter cigar. This transition kept up throughout the whole stick, changing maybe 5 or 6 times. It had a surprisingly sweet finish, and left my mouth a bit "ashy" at the end.
The aroma coming off the stick was a kind of bitter bourbon smell, similar to what I get off of other sticks with a darker wrapper.
Overall this cigar was pretty good, and I really enjoyed the lancero aspect of it.
