Definitely impressed with this monster of a cigar......working my way through most cigars on the site and would recommend a try.....an easy draw , fine blend with head turning size and looks ...if you can put up with the stares when you light one up ..then it's for you !!

Alec Bradley cigars are my "go to" cigar when l'm looking for a guaranteed excellent herf and l was expecting the same from the lancero. I'm actually smoking it as l write this. The first half is high maintenance for a disappointing return. The second half has developed into the quality l was expecting with an easy draw and volumes of taste. I don't like to say this but they need to be recalled, resized and sold as a bombaso.

First time having this cigar an I can say I was not disappointed, the cigar lit perfectly, burned a little uneven at first but it did even it self out. The cigar had a nice flavour to it, it was slightly nutty an peppery with a nice smooth finish to it. I think there was some sweetness in there aswell. For the price you will not be disappointed, a lovely cigar to welcome Christmas day!

This is a great humidor. although not to esthetical pleasing (my wife hates the way it takes up half the sideboard counter top in the living room) it maintains a constant 74% humidity ALWAYS! It is accurate and with its large humidifier only requires a top up every 4-5 weeks, so is very low maintenance. The dividers and labels provided are very handy for separating different brands, sizes and ages of cigar. The pyramid is not to my liking but the maintenance of the cigars inside is second to none.

Arturo Fuente Exquisitos Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
I bought this cigar as I am rapidly approaching 40 and wanted to smoke a proper hand rolled cigar, I opened the wrapper and immediately the cigar smelt better than any other I have had.
I toasted the cigar to light it and took a few tentative draws, the taste was spicy and sweet, a really nice smooth draw and I only had to re-light once.
It has been a long time since I have smoked, but I have now ordered a starter pack of tubed Cubans and a pack of Monte Christo Puritos.
I would buy this cigar again, and again.

I bought 2 of these to be sure of seeing if I liked them. I tried them within 5 days of receipt. They are fairly cheap and hopes were not high. I've sampled a good range of cigars over 30 years, but these are easily the least satisfying and most annoying. It is impossible to keep them alight. The burn is temporarily OK until ignition occurs through another nearer segment, (not the tip) leading to a 1 cm length of unburned wrapper and a total burn on the opposite side of the cylinder. Re-lighting is only feasible with a big taper or after trimming the end square. The flavour is fairly harsh, but not bad. For the price one is buying immense frustration with no redeeming features that I could discover. Both samples did exactly the same thing, The Fuente at a similar price were streets ahead.
