This Lancero pays tribute to Menelik I, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The cigar features a Nicaraguan Corojo 99 wrapper, with Nicaraguan binder and fillers. This Lancero offers a balanced and nuanced smoking experience throughout.
Cinnamon and wood give way to the smoke. Nuts with subtle creaminess are introduced later. The second half becomes creamier with subtle sweetness as balsamic nuances come through. The profile takes a spicy turn towards the end.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
