First two thirds of this cigar was total pleasure. The build quality was perfect and the smoke was a plenty and smooth too with a dead straight burn line.
The ash held extremely well only ashing 3 times, that's all the way to the nub.
Final inch towards the nub got a bit spicy for me and I am a very slow pleasure smoker as this cigar in total lasted me 80 minutes until it was laid to rest.
Will try another but this time I will leave it in my humidor for a few months.

Nice cold draw. Smoked with a punch cut.
Lit well and good volume of smoke. Good burn throughout. Held the ash well.
Slight tingle on the lips, but very spicy on the draw, almost a Tabasco taste.
Earthy and leathery taste, quite pleasant. Will buy again.

With a straight cut and toasting the foot, the first taste to hit me was a pleasant tobacco and black coffee with no sweetness.
The burn was even and held the ash very well and just the smell of it was nice and not acrid like some.
The second third was very similar to the first 3rd but maybe a little smoother than the 1st 3rd.
Over 30 minutes in and getting closer to the band the flavours stayed the same which was enjoyable.
Smoked this up to within a few mm of the band and that's when the band was removed with no issues whatsoever which proves the great construction of this cigar
Final 3rd and the only difference I noted was a very small amount of pepperiness added to the enjoyable flavour.
At no time did this get hot even as I smoked it right up to the nub as now it was getting hard to hold.
Only once did this need to be relit and that was because of a phone call I took, and in total this cigar lasted me 1hr and 5 mins at my leisurely pace.
This is a no nonsense must have cigar in anyone's humidor.

Beautiful creamy smoke strong but not bitter pairs well with coffee

What a cigar! Flavour notes were fantastic, burn was excellent. Paired with Four Roses bourbon.
Loved it!

I actually left the last review in August, but this cigar is so good I just had to review again. After smoking a few more of these since August (last one on my birthday this week), I have fallen in love with this Oliva V Lancero even more. I would say possibly my favourite cigar to date, and I have smoked over 100 brands / variations of cigars. This is right up there with Padron 1964 Aniversary and La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amore for the best dark coco notes, spice and salty earth. The only thing I would say is due to the thin ring gauge these are not suitable for outdoors unless there is zero wind. They also taste even better with a few months of ageing in the humidor. Amazing cigar!
