Quick Smoke: La Musa Μελέτη Lancero

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.”

I last reviewed this cigar in November 2013, writing that the bold Lancero is “a complex, balanced smoke with more substance than your standard flavor-bomb.” Taking it for test drive for the first time in a long time, I found my previous assessment holds water. The Nicaraguan puro features a strength-forward profile of espresso, black pepper spice, and some sweet notes in the background. Construction is solid, rendering La Musa Μελέτη Lancero a solid purchase.

Verdict = Buy.
