This 6×54 stick offers a soft dark brown wrapper with minimal veins, good seams, a very firm tight construction and a few patches, with an even double cap, putting off a slight barnyard aroma. First light reveals a very easy draw, minimal smoke production and mild flavors of a slightly sweet grass and earth with a tiny bit of pepper on the finish. The first third develops to a slightly sweet mild creamy leather with a clean short finish. The draw is still very loose and the burn has a bit of a problem, prompting periodic touch-ups. 35 min in to the 1/2 way point there are few changes, with only the leather and creme dying down. Ending at 1:10 the last third was the same flavor wise although the smoke output increased and the burn finally evened out. Video on the site.

Any price point?

I picked a torpedo up at the local Tinderbox for ~$6

Its not that bad of a cigar, but a little bit over priced IMO. With Brickhouses out there at the same price point I'd take a Brickhouse any day

The Lancero is the best vitola IMHO. They still seem to be a little green. They start out great and than just kind of fall flat on their face although you will experience this less with the Lancero.:-)
