Newfie
Official Lancero Whore
With clear skies, light winds and low 70 temps after the passing of Hurricane Bill last night, it's a nice day to enjoy a smoke on the back deck working from home.
I found this in the bottom of one of my humidors and have no idea when I got it, who it came from or what it is. And I feel guilty about that 'cause I normally label gifts.
It's 6-1/2" long X ~ 44 RG, of nearly perfectly straight construction with a slightly veiny and mottled medium brown wrapper. After punching easily, it had what could be considered the definition of what I consider to be a perfect draw.
Carefully toasted the foot to a glowing orange and after blowing out through the cigar, I took a couple of light draws before laying it down for a minute. Then the first full draw gave plenty of smoke with no presence of any spice at all, just a nice balance of too many flavours to pick out or describe.
First 3/4 of an inch showed nice straight burn leaving a fairly smooth, very light ash.
Knocked the ash off at about an inch & a half, and it was still quite firm, indicating it would have held on for another 1/2" or more.
Basically, this cigar kept up to initial impressions all the way through the 70 minutes it took to smoke it. Meduim bodied at best with an ever-so-slight taste of pepper occasionally makes this a wonderful afternoon smoke.
Just too bad I have no idea what it is.
