This is a beautifully constructed pigtailed lancero with Colorado shade wrapper that is smooth with veins running the length. There’s only a slight bit of oiliness to it and a very nice weight in the hand. I punch the pigtail cap; find the draw with a good resistance, and a musty aged tobacco flavor coming through.

Beginning 1/3
I put fire to the foot and take a couple puffs to get the fire burning evenly, and then take a slow, long draw. There’s a perfect pepper spice on the back of the throat and a delicious nuttiness with chocolate flavor coming through. I can also detect the slight bit of mustiness as well. It has a delicious long finish and all I can think of is creamy chocolate.

Middle 1/3
The burn is sharp through to the midway point with a strong whitish gray ash forming. I continue to get chocolate notes with a nice nuttiness coming through in the medium bodied smoke. There also seems to be a bit of orange zest as well. The finish is superb, long and lasting on the palate. The spice is spot on.

Final 1/3
Heading into the final third, the flavor is a straightforward rich tobacco with undertones of nuts and cocoa. The burn continues to be sharp with a strong whitish gray ash forming. The smoke itself remains a medium body with a perfect amount of spice. There is an incredible lasting finish. Uh, well, I wasn’t paying close enough attention it seems. I seemed to start detecting a slight bitter, funky flavor and then it happens. A nice big glove of tar on the tongue. Oh yeah, THAT was nasty. Whew! After rinsing a bit with the water I had handy, I figured I could go ahead and finish, just be careful not to touch the tip. BAM!! I did it again! Okay, well enough is enough. I hated to put it down as it was so good, however the tar did me in. I will say that I didn’t realize it until I stepped inside that my head was quite woozy. An oh so good woozy though. :D

This was a fantastic smoke. It had a perfect spice, perfect body, with delicious flavors of chocolate, nuts, and a nice orange zest. The burn was perfect as well with a strong ash and a long finish, all matching my palate perfectly, excellent cigar. I just hope there’s more available and affordable once I find out what it is! I have a feeling though….

Great review Greg, that tar buildup is unfortunate, but luckily you were able to enjoy most of the smoke before you had to put it down!
 
Great review as always Greg. I'm glad to see you enjoyed this smoke until the unfortunate tar incident.. I have one sitting in my humi and can't wait for the warmer weather so I can sit outside and enjoy it.
 
Thanks for posting the great review. Too bad about the Tar. I've been contemplating picking up a 5 pack of these smokes at my local B&M. Based on your review, I'll probably pick up one stick, smoke it and if I like it and get no tar, I'll opt for the 5-pack.
 
I had one of these a few weeks ago and was really impressed! The Millennium blend is one of the few Davidoffs that might ACTUALLY be worth all the money! :laugh:

But DAMN, I have never seen tar buildup like THAT! ??? Glad I didn't have that happen with mine.
 
Another one for the records Greg.

I love this cigar so much that if I had to rename it, I would call it "Sex Bastard of Smoke". :sign:

Cheers friend!
 
I'm still a real noob, what causes this? Excess tar in the leaves mixing w/ your saliva or moisture from the cigar?
