The brand, with the golden diamond on their cigars, first introduced the Black Serie II in 2017, and the cigars are all box-pressed. In December of 2019, Cavalier Genève released this Lancero size, which is yearly made in small batches. Balanced and with an evolution that clearly distinguishes the three-thirds of the smoke.
It releases fine wood, vegetal notes, and white pepper, together with some spicy peaks. About halfway through the smoke, walnut is added. The finish introduces a touch of balsamic herbs.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were 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 made.
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 Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in the Winter 2020 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
