As cigars go, this is one of the best! I’m celebrating Lancero February 2022 with this delicious Illusione HL Holy Lance Lancero by Illusione Cigars.

I don’t think that there’s a better way to sit back and relax than to have one of these Illusione treats in hand and smokin’!

I can’t wait until the next time… and, I don’t think I’ll wait until next February to indulge myself

This has been resting since June, 2018

I left my Perfect Cutter at home this morning, so it’s going to be a V-Cut today. By mistake I was off center with my V-Cut somewhat resembling a Dickman-Cut; we’ll see if this adds anything.

First draw and I can tell that this is going to be a great experience; earthy tobacco and leather flavors greet me and I welcome them with open arms. There’s a subtle bit of pepper on the retrohale; let’s see what develops.

I’m almost at the end of the first third and the pepper spice has arrived making for a lasting finish and something extra on the retrohale. This is a beautiful cigar.

At the second third and a sweet almond, paste flavor is starting to appear underneath the dominant earthy tobacco flavors, leaving me with a sweeter finish now.

Wow, I’m just going to sit back and enjoy this ride. I purchased this in June (8-months) and this was a very smooth, complex, and earthy smoke.

I’ll do it again soon. I only purchased one of these at the time.
