Lancero
Lancero · 60–75 min smoke · Long and pencil-thin — a high wrapper-to-filler ratio that blenders use to show off the leaf. Matures faster.
At the counter · Thin ring is fragile — clean guillotine just above the shoulder, toast slowly, and draw gently to spare the wrapper.
Tasting

Cigar press, enthusiast communities, and your own log — all in one place.
“Overall, the Foundation Cigars Wise Man Maduro lancero is an excellent addition to the well acclaimed line. Like its brethren in the line, the lancero is a complex, flavor filled and well balanced smoke. This is another one of those lanceros that I would buy a box of. I rate this a solid 97.”Read on Stogie Press
“The first time around, this blend in this vitola was very, very good, albeit not as enjoyable as its corona gorda brother. However, almost a year of age has done wonders for the profile.”Read on halfwheel (Redux)
“I was met with the familiar subtle fruit, baking spices, and earthy flavors. Definitely a medium to medium-full bodied stick, and it was very pleasing on the palate. No overly spicy pepper bomb and a nice smooth finish on the exhale and retrohale.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
