This cigar presents an inviting pre-light draw with notes of cinnamon, allspice, and cocoa powder. Upon lighting, the initial profile reveals a mild creaminess accompanied by aromatic coffee undertones. The cigar opens with a rich, medium-bodied profile, maintaining consistency while gradually gaining complexity. A touch-up was required early on due to an uneven burn, but this did not detract significantly from the smoking experience.
As the first third develops, subtle cedar notes emerge, adding depth to the flavour. The construction demonstrates solid craftsmanship, with a firm draw and consistent flavour delivery throughout. Despite the occasional uneven burn, the cigar maintains a well-balanced profile, with the initial sweetness and spice harmonizing beautifully with the developing woody character.
Overall, this is a flavourful and aromatic smoke, combining complexity with a pleasing progression of flavors. A smoother burn would elevate this cigar further, making it an excellent 8/10 experience. 75 minutes smoke time

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.

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!
