This is a well constructed cigar. Smooth medium brown wrapper with a nice sheen. No lumps! Nice weight in the hand. Good draw. When a cigar feels way heavier than it looks, but still draws well, that's the work of a talented torcedor.

Nice smoke. No major twists and turns in the flavor. Pretty typical Nicaraguan cigar flavors of wood and baking spice, but very smooth through the nose. Unlike the quadruple ligero bombs that became popular for some reason. Good burn with only a couple of minor corrections. Nice aroma from the foot. A bit of a floral flavor comes in during the second half. There's a nice depth to the flavor that I only get from Cubans and a few NCs. It's a palate coating sensation that I cannot put into words.

Final thoughts...this is another budget friendly winner from Cigar Page.

TFTR! I've seen the brand on Cigar Page for a while but have always hesitated on pulling the trigger for some reason. Now I have a good reason to order more cigars! Excellent...

Whassup, my BOTL?

Smoking another Murcielago lancero. DAMN, these are good smokes with some humidor time. Still the typical maduro flavors of cocoa and coconut, but a very noticeable floral flavor and aroma coming from the foot. I'm on a break from work, and I'm smoking this long skinny stick with a petite syrah from northern CA.

Life is good.

This particular cigar has been out of the cello and in my low humidity desktop for a little over 1 year.

60-63 is what I shoot for. The desktop is what I smoke from, so I'm not opening the cabinet all the time.
