PSHC Fo Life!
I had one of these yesterday. It had a different spice to it than an of the others and went through a few distinct changes. Being a big ring guage guy I was a little hesitant, but it turned out to be a pleasant suprise

The more you smoke, the more you will notice this. You get more the actual blend (less useless filler) in the thin rg cigar therefore you get a good idea of what the blender had in his mind when producing the blend, flavor wise. I don't like big rg's, 54 and over, because they always seem very one dimensional and they uncomfortable to smoke, imo.
The lancero is, by far, the best of the line, imo. Good review!

Had my 1st one the other day, One of the finest cigars I've ever smoked.
Much Much better then the Torp which I had burn problems with.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]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 manure. 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.[/FONT]

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]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.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]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.[/FONT]

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Would I buy this cigar again? No, it is a nice cigar but I prefer a bigger ringsize[/FONT]
