Review: Ocean Breeze by Lampert Cigars

Stallone Alagan Review: The Experience

One of the best constructed cigars I have smoked for Cigar Public, flawless! Unfortunately, that is where I stop the compliments as the flavor profile was not to my liking in the least. I will say, if you enjoy pure pepper and spice bombs with flints of cedar and woods popping in and out then this is your cigar. The profile is extremely linear and will most likely only be enjoyed by those who are screaming that full bodied, kick you in the teeth and leave your sinuses on fire type of smoke!

Retrohale Notes: Black Pepper Bomb (1st Half & Second Half)

Average Smoke Time: 54 Minutes

Pairing Recommendations: Whiskey (from any country), coffee (any type) or Root Beer

Stallone Alagan Review: The Brand

From Lampert Cigars:

LAMPERT OCEAN BREEZE embodies the Costa Rican philosophy of Pura Vida, to share our joy and happiness with those around us.

That’s what this cigar represents; the uniqueness of this pearl blend of LAMPERT CIGARS that we want to share with the world.

The initial idea to create his own cigar brand crossed Stefan’s mind in 2016 during a vacation in Thailand. Like many other vacationers, Stefan made use of the wide range of tailored suits on the market and wanted to transfer this concept of the tailored suit to a cigar. With his brand, he wanted to give customers the opportunity to create their very own handmade premium cigars as if in a laboratory, which is why he named his first cigar line MY CIGAR LAB.

Because the MY CIGAR LAB line was so well received in the cigar world, Stefan was determined to create a cigar that would take cigar aficionados further on his vacation trip. After trying various tobacco blends, one particular blend stuck out among the rest– the one with the salty taste. The salty notes of this cigar’s unique blend reminded Stefan of the sea, leading him to name the cigar OCEAN BREEZE.“

I originally started smoking cigars around 2002 right after I turned 18; this was my attempt at “coolness”. What happened throughout the years though turned into true romance of the leaf. Cigars are passion, calmness and clarity mixed with the joy of collecting and community with a splash of nostalgia!
