Isthmus Central America Añejo Lancero: unlit, hints of seasoned wood. The opening confirms the seasoned wood and the cigar starts rather “dry”.
In the first third, the seasoned wood remains the undisputed protagonist, to which, however, a spicy component of black pepper is added. The smoke remains fairly dry on the palate. Strength is slightly below medium (2.5/5).
In the central part, the seasoned wood remains present, now joined by rich peppery notes, where black pepper and a touch of hot spices stand out. Strength increases slightly, moving towards the medium level (3/5). The smoke remains dry.
There are no particular variations in the last part of the smoke, where the flavors and strength remain constant.
Overall, the Isthmus Central America Añejo Lancero releases a rather one dimensional smoke, with few changes. This aspect is quite relevant in a Lancero. Another not insignificant detail is the particularly dry smoke that this cigar releases.
