Well, no band sucks and I decided I don’t like v cuts anymore. Only going with straight cut now that I have the Lotus Meteor. Light, flavourless start despite the dark band. Light ash, no ash pyramid. Still a mild little flavour, zero spice, but enjoyable cigar. Slow, consistent burn. Decent draw. Getting a little hot half way through. I find this happens with looser cigars, maybe? Big draw in last half. Burn hasn’t stopped, but isn’t even
Aaah the lancero. What a pleasant shape. In this case, a very good Honduran cigar with a medium body mellowed out by it’s narrow shape I find. Very easy to smoke and just a little spice to punch it all out. Lovely!
Cold draw: sweet Cedar, honey
1st: cedar and honey
2nd & 3rd: honey with clove in retrohail and after taste
Good creamy smoke throughout, nice draw, good smoke
