Quick Smoke: Tatuaje H-Town Lancero (Stogies World Class Cigars Exclusive)
17 Jan 2016
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€
Some of my favorite Tatuaje cigars have been from the Exclusive Series (for example, the Barclay Rex and TAA 2015) so I was interested to see how this Lancero stacked up. Once lit, it showed roasted coffee notes, clove spice, and intense leather that borders on bitter, especially towards the first half. Construction on the medium- to full-bodied smoke was flawless. I like lanceros, and I’ve generally been very impressed by the Tatuaje Exclusive Series cigars, but I’m just not sure this size showed off the best of the blend, which was pleasant but not outstanding.
Verdict = Hold.

I felt the same about this cigar and I was really excited about this release…the Illusione is the best of the whole series imho.
I liked this Lancero considerably more than my colleague, as you can see in my review (which he links to). That said, after smoking through the H-Town cigars, I have to say my favorite is the one from La Palina.
