Quick Smoke: Villiger Flor de Ynclan Lancero Especial

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.”

Officially debuting at the upcoming IPCPR Trade Show, this limited edition Lancero (6.75 x 43) is the fourth size from Villiger’s Flor de Ynclan line. It sports an Ecuadorian wrapper around Indonesian binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The profile is bready with light wood, hints of orange peel, and nutmeg. The well-constructed cigar is the my favorite of the line. Only 500 boxes of 25 will be made each year (suggested retail is $11 per cigar).

Verdict = Buy.
