A subtle rosado hue on this well put together lancero. A very nice roll with an even, med-firm pack, candle wick cap and closed foot. Upon lighting the cigar delivers a bountiful smoke output with a carefree draw. Medium bodied with somewhat dry and fizzy feeling sensation. The flavors throughout remain relatively balanced with a fairly dynamic range. The burn was on point from start to finish, with very little in the way of nicotine making for a very easy going and flavorful experience. Not my favorite flavor profile to be honest, but that is simply a preference. The quality is definitely there.
