Tasting notes
The Balmoral Anejo XO Oscuro Lancero FT Edicion Limitada 2019 presents itself with a dark wrapper, reflecting its Mexican origin. Its texture in hand is smooth and silky, while the richness of its wrapper immediately catches the eye. The overall presentation of this cigar, combined with its length of 177.8 mm (7") and diameter of 15.9 mm (⅝"), makes it truly enticing.
From the first olfactory contact, a wave of pre-light aromas floods your senses: you can perceive notes of coffee and dark chocolate that blend with a subtle hint of walnut. Upon lighting, the olfactory experience intensifies with earthy and woody touches adding to this harmony, while maintaining a slight creaminess on the palate, promised by the Dominican binder.
On the palate, the complexity unfolds skillfully across the three thirds of the cigar. You will transition from a delicate sensation of toast and cream to an increase in roasted coffee aromas, all within a very good balance between strength and sweetness. The aromatic progression is constant, captivating you without ever falling into monotony.
The finish will surprise you with its impressive length, where creamy sensations and a desirable slight bitterness express themselves, leaving behind a balance among all the flavors. What makes this cigar unique is its ability to offer a beautiful richness while remaining accessible to all.
This cigar is perfectly suited for a leisurely tasting, ideal in the evening, accompanied by a good coffee or bourbon, to fully savor all its aromatic nuances.
