It’s already late in the evening, but decided to go ahead and put fire to this Opus Petit Lancero thinking it wouldn’t take too long to smoke before dinner. The cigar has a reddish brown wrapper that is oily with minimal veins. It is firm when squeezed, has a good weight in the hands, and with the tapered head clipped I find a perfect resistance in the draw.
After torching the foot (yep, found my lighter), I blow on the embers to get an even burn, then take a few puffs to get the smoke flowing well. My first draw brings a perfect spice on the throat with the smoke a medium strength with a full body that has a great depth to it. Flavors are rich right from the start with tastes of toasted nuts, worn leather, and a delicious cedar wood. Incredibly good.
The burn is sharp with a medium gray ash forming in perfect layers that holds strong until tapped off. A mild spice continues to come through in the medium to not quite full strength smoke, flowing effortlessly through the perfect draw. I’m amazed at the absolute richness in the flavors coming through with the finish lasting on the palate.
Halfway in and the smoke is oh so smooth having a buttery texture on the palate. This is probably one of the best Opus I’ve smoked to date IMHO, rich and complex to say the least. I exhale slowly through the mouth and nose, savoring the incredible flavors left on the palate, lasting long after the smoke is gone. I’m smacking my lips it’s so good.
I cannot say enough about how incredibly good this cigar was. Sharp burn, perfect draw, rich flavors with the smoke feeling smooth, creamy and a finish that would not quite. Again, this was probably one of the best Opus I’ve smoked, absolutely enjoyed it!
