Oliva V lancero
The thinnest cigar of the Oliva V series, a very elegant ring 38 178 mm
long lancero has a nice wrapper with lots of small veins which make the
cigar look natural and real and the aroma of a barnyard. The cigar feels
well constructed, a bit on the hard side though while the predraw is
very light. I don’t usually smoke cigars this thin, so my judgment could
be a bit false.
The leather aroma is very much like the leather that you get from most Cuban cigars, stronger then the Dominican leather but there is something more that makes it a bit salty and soon black pepper kicks in. After a while I can taste some coffee soon to be replaced again by the leather.
This cigar produces lots of smoke with nice light grey ashes. The burn is a bit crooked and the draw is light, a bit too light for my taste.
Would I buy this cigar again? No, it is a nice cigar but I prefer a bigger ringsize
