Nestor Miranda Special Selection Lancero


I thoroughly enjoyed a Toro-sized Nestor Miranda at the Outlaw Cigar Co. party in his honor last month, so I bought a few different sizes at that time to try later. One was the somewhat rare Lancero size, so named for obvious reasons.

It exhibited the same perfect burn and construction as the other sizes (it IS, after all, a Jose Pepin Garcia product), but I found the flavors to be quite different.

The Lancero seemed much sweeter than the Toro, with a more leathery base flavor. A combination I didn't find to be very attractive. Too sweet and too much leather. Perfect in every other way, but not for me.
