Cohiba Lancero
I HATE to do this… And I would GLADLY LOVE to try another one to change my mind…
I had High expectations for this smoke, it was recommended to me in the Cuban forum on CA as a sweet mellow smoke.
The construction APPEARED nice, the wrapper, smooth and oily. I like the little twisted end.
Pre light it seemed like this would be a pretty good smoke… I didn’t really notice the tight draw till I lit it.
OK, I admit to being Asthmatic, but I haven’t had an episode in MONTHS… This smoke might have driven me to one though…
What little smoke I did get, was sweet enough, but the draw was so tight that there was little of it. I tried massaging it, this helped a little but still it was un-smokeable. I tired to find SOMETHING to try and poke it… A pin proved to be way too short… In the absence of any paperclips I tried as a last ditch effort a piece of skinny coat hanger. This sadly ended up destroying the smoke…
I got maybe an inch worth of smoke out of this… I was VERY sadly disappointed.
