Cigar: Viaje Exclusivo Lancero (7.5" x 40)
Cost: $9.50
Drink: Coke
This cigar was made as an exclusive for Atlantic Cigars 15th Anniversary. I decided to write my review down in a cigar journal that Kyle at Warped Cigars is selling.
Appearance: 1 banded cigar that says "Viaje" on the band. The wapper was dark and oily with a fan tail cap.
Construction: This cigar had a perfect draw. The ash was flaky and wouldn't hang on very long. The burn was pretty decent and only required a few touchups.
First Third: Spicy, chocolate, cocoa, and leathery. The spice only lasted a couple of inches and then it faded away. I started to get a nice herbal flavor from it.
Second Third: Very sweet chocolate flavor. The spice started to come back. I was getting a coffee flavor and then it changed to dark chocolate and the sweetness faded. The spice started to fade again as well.
My smoking buddy Henry:
Final Third: The spice came back. The flavor was dark chocolate like a fudge brownie.
Strength: This was a medium-full flavored cigar.
Summary: This cigar was delicious. I love the Viaje Exclusivo blends, and I love the lancero vitola. I give the cigar a 9.5/10. If the spice was present throughout the entire cigar, I would give it a 10. I would definitely buy these if you can find them.
