Principal Cigars · Lancero
The Principal Cigars putting the principal cigars 1842 lancero to the test is a medium-full, San Andres-wrapped Lancero out of Dominican Republic, reviewed in full below — specs, tasting notes by thirds, pairing, burn, and draw. It scored 95/100 on our board: The Regular — “something I have regularly in the humidor.”
Burn: worry-free burn quality
Draw: The construction provides a fairly firm, uniform feel with no soft spots, wrapped in a smooth, oily espresso-colored Mexican San Andrés wrapper.
Construction: The head is finished with a pristine, traditional triple cap that cuts cleanly without unraveling.
