Review Notes: I've been through a lot of smokes and I think this my first lancero. I refused to pay top dollar and finally broke down and paid $7 per. I have to admit it is worth it. The price I've been willing to pay has gone up commensurate with the quality of cigars being made available in the U.S.A. Another great Pepin cigar Made in the USA and as good or better than the Cubans I've been fortunate enough to smoke. Spicy on the tongue and in the nostrils with a creamy base. Flavors of wood, mild leather and great tobacco taste create a great experience for the seasoned smoker. The burn is fantastic though the ash is weak. Newbies beware this will kick your butt!
