Lancero love

[borndead1]

Weird, I tried those Ninfamaniacs several years ago and thought they were awful. Different strokes...

Enjoying an Oliva V lancero. I really liked the last (first) one I smoked, so I wanted to try a few more before committing to a box.

I must say...this is a damn good cigar. Oliva has been not so great for me in the past few years. In fact, with the exception of the Connecticut Reserve, Oliva has been on my 'do not buy' list for quite some time. I think it's time to rethink that. And it's time to snag a box of V lanceros.

What should I smoke while in the deer blind? Yeah, I thought so, a lancero sounds like a good idea!

The other Ninfamaniac sound like a wonderful idea. A nice smoke, not quite what the maduro version is, but a decent smoke. Decent burn and abit more subdued and one dimensional in comparison to its darker twin.



Another day in the woods, and since I had does around while smoking, another cigar sounds like a good idea. The Balmoral Anjeo smoked wonderfully. It is complex with hints of a hearty wheat bread, mild hints of pepper, and ephemeral gleamings of citrus.

Revisiting the Cuban Crafters Medina 1959 lancero tonight.

This one was much better than the first one I tried. I would imagine that it's because of the nekkid humidor time. I really need to break myself of the compulsion to try every new cigar right off the truck. They always need at least a short nap of a month or so.

Class 34 Sungrown Blend lancero (7" X 38)

Not much in the way of real flavor at first; smoke burns my tongue. What's crazy, though, is the aroma coming from the foot is really nice. About 2" in, a nasty mildewy hay flavor comes in. I pitched this thing pretty quickly.

I've bought new/unknown cigars from Cigar Page before and been disappointed. The Class 34 Sungrown lancero is no exception.
