Casa Fernandez Lancero

Hey all,

It's been a while since I have done a review, but I felt this cigar needed it.

I have had this cigar laying around in my "smoke soon" box and never really got around to it. Well finally I did. And WOW, I wish I would have gotten to it a lot sooner.

Appearance/Construction: Nice looking lancero, with a pigtail.

Prelight Draw: A bit of spice with an almost Pepin like taste

First Impressions: A very nice start, it lit up well and drew near perfect especially for a lancero

Smoking: I was not expecting a lot of out of this cigar. I had not looked up any reviews, but Tabacalera Tropical usually makes some not so great bundle cigars. However, I was totally wrong about this one. At first there was a nice spice blast sort of like Pepin has in his cigars. After the first inch though it got really creamy and a sweet Nicaraguan leaf taste came shining through. At the halfway mark, I would almost swear it was an Opus X petite lancero. I kept tasting that same Opus taste at times throughout the cigar. Then at other parts the cigar took on it's own flavor that reminded me of Tatuaje. Really great cigar.

Final Comments: I usually smoke stronger cigars with no problem, so I don't know if it was a strong cigar. But I will say it tasted great and at times tasted like and Opus and at other times like a Pepin. All blended together well to give it a unique taste at other times.
