My Father ~ No.4 Lancero

[badwhale]

Smoke: My Father ~ No. 4 (lancero)
Drink: Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale
Tunes: N/A
Date Smoked: 11/10/11

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Great
Misc: n/a

Pre-light: Great construction with a nice little pigtail cap. Colorado maduro shade wrapper. A little splotchy in color and pronounced veins. Sweet musky tobacco scent. Sweet and spicy tobacco on the cut prelight taste.



Light: Pretty easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Oily. Spice. Cedar woodsy. Oily tobacco aftertaste. Flavorful. Mellow out a bit about ¾” in, but still spicy and oily.



Ash: Looks flakey and fragile, but is going out to about 1” Light gray with a tan twinge.

2nd 3rd: Smoothed out. Draw is nice, and I don’t really have to “baby” this lancero. Oily, spicy sweet tobacco and woodsy. I’d call this a medium to full body smoke. Medium to full flavor. Great improvement over the megareview blind review robusto I had. Maybe that one was a dud.



3rd 3rd: A lot like the 1st and 2nd 3rd. Spice picking up a bit more. Woodsy, oily & sweet tobacco. Very pleasant and interesting.



Overall impression: This the second vitola I’ve had in this line, and I’d feel confident in recommending it. Definitely.

Received 2 of these from separate BOTLs shortly after one another. This one if from the 1st sender, and I thanked the other sender in “today’s smokes” Thank you!

Yes, there is something about the Lancero vitola in that blend that makes it fantastic.

Agreed.....the corona size ain't too bad either (I forget the #).

Sounds like one I must Try. Will be in my first order of the new year if one of my online retailers has them in stock.

Thanks for the review
