Ezra Zion All My Exes Lancero

Written by Jeff Slatton (jefslat) |

October 15th, 2018

Size of Cigar: 6.5 inches long by 42 ring gauge

This cigar has a very smooth dark wrapper. The foot gives off light earthy aromas, and the cold draw is perfect. Today’s accompanying beverage is a Shiner Bock.

The initial flavors of the Lancero are earthy and somewhat sweet. There is a light white pepper note in the retro-hale. The burn is very even.

This is a medium-bodied cigar with excellent flavors. In the first third, some cedar notes join the flavor profile, and some of the pepper notes appear on the palate. The medium grey ash falls fairly easily, and the burn starts to become a bit uneven. But I will give it some time.

Mi Quierda Firecracker

For those of you familiar with the 2 Guys Smoke Shop vitola, you’ll expect the short review that follows.

This cigar looks and smells almost identical to the regular Mi Quierda line, except that it measures 3.5 inches long with a 2 inch tail off of the cap.

Initial flavors are earthy and cedar-like with some of those cloying '(Steve) Saka (the cigar's blender) notes' we all love. The retro-hale is lightly peppery and smooth, and the burn is perfect.

The first third is excellent if short. This is a very full-bodied cigar. Some pepper appears in the main flavor profile and remains in the retro-hale.

El Rey del Mundo Choix Suprême
Size - Hermoso No. 4 (5 inches by 48 ring gauge)
Wrapper - Cuba
Binder - Cuba
Filler - Cuba

Wrapper

The wrapper is a gorgeous Colorado claro (reddish tan) with thin veins. It is a delicate, thin wrapper and silky smooth to the touch. The triple cap is well applied. The cigar gives off a nice sweet and woodsy smell.

Construction

This cigar is solid and no soft spots are evident. The wrapper is uniform from head to foot. The triple cap holds up well to a guillotine cut, and the draw is a bit stiff but smokable. Prelight flavors are sweet, with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. The ash is a solid medium gray. A bit of a runner occurs halfway down the cigar, but a touch of flame helps it catch up.

Tasting Sensations

I and a group of friendly like-minded spirits lovers often get together to enjoy some good food and – of course! – good whiskies. Over the course of many such gatherings, I’ve had the opportunity to sample whiskies I might not have otherwise tasted. In today’s article, I profile just a few of those whiskies that have, for various reasons, impressed me.

2018 IPCPR Wrap-Up

September 7th, 2018

We flew into Las Vegas on a Friday morning and got a ride to the hotel. After a short unpacking and decompression session, we headed for the Convention Center to register, obtain our badges and get our goody bags. We then walked around the lobby areas waiting for the premier showing of Hand Rolled, a cigar documentary.

The movie started off with a history of the modern cigar business in Cuba under Batista, and showed how Castro’s revolution forced most of the families off of their farms. Because the state confiscated their farms and factories, many fled to other countries to pursue their business interests.
