I smoke a lot of robusto and churchill Oliva V , which I love. This Lancero had similar tasting notes but a bit more prominent, dark chocolate and coffee primarily. The main difference between the larger vitolas and this lancero would be the higher level of spice in the latter, a cajuon type spice. The spice is not over powering but is always there, especially at the first 1/3 and last 1/3. The middle 1/3 has very little spice and much more prominent dark chocolate and expresso tones.
I enjoyed this very much paired with Johnnie Walker Blue. I will certainly buy more of these Oliva V lanceros going forward.

Very surprised just how good this was. A wry nice even burn, did take some time to get through it and come the end was slightly a little but sickly. I would definitely have a good meal before sitting down to enjoy it. But overall very good.

This cigar lasted 1 hour the construction and qaulity is fantastic, Great draw lovely white thick smoke, First 3rd is filled with dark chocolate maybe a hint of caramel, 2nd third You start to taste hints of Pepper and cinnamon with a base of chocolate
this continues and gets stronger in the last 3rd
there was more development and more flavours in the last 3rd but my pallet isn?t experienced enough to say what the flavours are,
This cigar is fantastic and i wish it was for me but the flavours aren?t my thing!
Think this would be suited to a nice cup of coffee. I wish my Preferred cigars possessed some of the amazing qualities that this cigar does! If you are into the flavours above you will love this cigar and for ?10 it?s qaulity and smoke time is Hard to beat!!

This is my 1st Plasencia cigar. Tasting notes for me are strong cedar, leather, slight salty earth. It gets a sweeter tones halfway through and light coffee tones. I would give it a light to medium rating for strength. I had this with Irish Powers Whisky John Lane 12 years old Edition. The Whisky overpowered this cigar.
Good points:
- Great construction and perfect burn.
- Nice big 54 gauge box pressed cigar.
Bad points:
Easy draw but not a lot of smoke compared to other box pressed cigars from Oliva, EP Carillo etc.
Not a lot of depth / change in the tasting notes as I progress through the cigar but it definitely picks up halfway through.
Not exactly to my taste but not a bad cigar. There are better tasting and more complex cigars available for the same price so I wouldn't buy another one, but I'm sure some people would love it.

A quick 5 minuter but a very pleasing aroma. One went very hot but just the one.
