Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The Lanceros rewards a slow, deliberate light. Once the narrow foot catches, the first draws carry a crystalline sweetness — raw honey and dried grass — that speaks to the high wrapper-to-filler ratio of this slender format. A thread of white pepper runs through the retrohale, delicate but persistent. The smoke is surprisingly full for a 38 ring gauge, coating the palate with clean cream and a whisper of fresh cedar.
Mid-Section
The middle third is where the Lanceros reveals its depth. The honey recedes slightly, replaced by roasted coffee and a buttery richness that lingers between draws. Leather appears on the retrohale, restrained and elegant rather than aggressive. A subtle floral note — almost like dried jasmine — emerges and adds a dimension that heavier ring gauges rarely achieve. The draw demands patience; smoke too quickly and the delicacy collapses into heat.
Final Third
The closing section concentrates the blend beautifully. Earth and espresso move to the foreground while the earlier sweetness resurfaces as a caramelized finish on the lips. Black pepper builds gradually, adding assertiveness without overwhelming the refined profile. The smoke remains cool and balanced right to the last inch, a testament to El Laguito's construction standards.

Cohiba Lanceros
$1070.00
The Cohiba Lanceros is a Laguito No. 1 (Lancero) format Cuban cigar measuring 192 mm (7.6") with a 38 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25.
The original Cohiba vitola created in 1966 for Fidel Castro, the Lanceros is built for the experienced aficionado who prizes wrapper-forward complexity over brute strength. Its slender gauge and generous length deliver a refined, medium-to-full experience where cream, coffee, and aged cedar take centre stage.
Construction at El Laguito is exemplary. The wrapper presents an elegant Colorado sheen with fine, barely visible veins and a pronounced oiliness that catches the light when rotated. The triple cap is applied with precision, and the foot reveals a tightly packed but not overly dense bunch. The draw offers measured resistance — never tight, never loose — producing a focused stream of cool, aromatic smoke with impressive volume for such a slender format. The burn line holds remarkably even, producing a firm, pale grey ash that speaks to the quality of the Vuelta Abajo leaf. Cohiba's signature third fermentation in cedar barrels lends the blend a distinctive smoothness, with a flavour family centred on cream, toasted nuts, aromatic wood, and gentle spice. Leather and a fleeting mineral note add dimension, while a delicate sweetness lingers on the finish. The slender ring gauge ensures the wrapper's contribution remains prominent throughout a contemplative 75-to-90-minute session, rewarding a slower pace with layered complexity.

I prefer lanceros over robustos generally, and Cohiba makes the definitive one. The draw requires a bit of finesse — you can't just puff away mindlessly — but the reward is a nuanced, delicate smoke that keeps evolving. The one I had last week started with hay and cream, moved to cedar and coffee, and finished with a long, peppery note. Took me about 90 minutes. Perfect after-dinner cigar.
Bought these for my husband's humidor and he hasn't stopped talking about them. The Lanceros is apparently Fidel's old favorite and after watching him enjoy one, I understand why. Gorgeous presentation too.
The Cohiba Lanceros is where it all started and it's still the most elegant cigar in the entire Habanos lineup. That long, slender format concentrates the flavors beautifully — cedar, white pepper, and a floral sweetness that's uniquely Lanceros. I've been buying these for a decade and the quality has been consistently superb. Nothing in the Montecristo or Partagas range comes close to this level of refinement. An absolute must for anyone who considers themselves a Cuban cigar enthusiast.
