"Perfect Construction, Not My Ideal Blend"
I m a big fan of panatelas/lanceros because you typically taste more of the showcase wrapper and the flavors develop throughout the burning process. But, I m just not a fan of this particular blend. To me, the flavor profile was mostly earth/bark/barnyard. It wasn t terrible by any means, it just lacked the spice and aroma that I go for, and was fairly one-dimensional.
Unfortunate, because it truly is a beautiful stick, and the construction was absolutely flawless. But, for the price, I just expected to enjoy it more than I did.
