Mike's Notes - 

What’s not to love about this cigar? It’s lancero-esque, has a flag cap and has a dark maduro wrapper. I’m a sucker for these slender ring gauge cigars and have to admit that my thoughts about a brand can be skewed by the production of a lancero shaped cigar. I first tried this last year in Belgrade, Serbia at the Libertador Cigar Lounge (run by one of the most entrepreneurial young men I’ve had the pleasure to meet, Nino Dojcinovic). Nino gifted me one of these lanceros. When I smoked it, it ticked all the boxes for me. It's strong but still rich and complex.
