Quick Smoke: Ortega Serie D Lancero Maduro
17 Mar 2013
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
This Lancero edition of the the Serie D Maduro was created by Eddie Ortega just for the DC Cigar Tweetup. (Each attendee received a bundle of ten with their ticket.) Only the size is new; the blend is the same as the regular Serie D Maduro sizes: Mexican wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler. The cigar has sweet earth, coffee, and cocoa all particularly focused by the Lancero’s narrow size. It’s reminiscent of the Padrón 1926 Maduro, including excellent construction, but with a little more grittiness.
Verdict = Buy.
