Lancero Cigars58 cigars

The Lancero is often described as the most challenging format to roll: its narrow ring gauge demands a perfectly balanced filler and an absolute precision in rolling. The slightest construction flaw manifests immediately as a difficult draw or uneven combustion. In exchange for this requirement, the Lancero offers a tasting experience of unparalleled finesse.

The smoke, concentrated in a narrow channel, possesses a purity and aromatic intensity that wider formats cannot match. The smoking duration ranges from 60 to 90 minutes. It is the preferred format of many master blenders for assessing the quality of a blend, precisely because it spares no shortcomings.

Cohiba, Davidoff, and Padrón offer their Lanceros as flagship pieces in their ranges.
