El Viejo Continente Maduro Lancero: the cold draw reveals rich scents of cocoa. The first few puffs deliver notes of earth.
The first third continues with the earthy notes, joined by a touch of incense and some roasted aromas. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the second third of the smoke, the flavor profile doesn’t change, nor the strength, which is still at a medium level (3/5).
The last third confirms the flavor profile and strength once again, with no changes (3/5).
Overall, the El Viejo Continente Maduro Lancero is a cigar delivering a very contained evolution. While the aromas are intense, the flavor profile is relatively contained. In a Lancero sized cigar, these characteristics make for a one-dimensional smoke.
