The Casa Magna Colorado Lancero stands out as a sleek Nicaraguan puro with its signature 7x40 lancero format. Priced at $49 for a box of 7 sticks, this full-bodied smoke features a rustic Jalapa-grown ligero wrapper that promises serious flavor density. The extra-long format delivers extended smoking sessions perfect for evening relaxation.
Initial draws serve roasted almonds with background notes of wheat crackers and faint maple syrup. Visible oily sheen on wrapper correlates with smooth combustion. Moderate smoke output with clean ash formation.
Develops espresso bitterness balanced by tart blackcurrant. Earthy undertones emerge alongside cinnamon spice. Smoke texture thickens noticeably with improved draw resistance.
Dark chocolate intensity peaks with caramelized cream finish. Mineral notes and faint leather emerge as nicotine strength escalates. Requires slower pacing to manage heat in narrow format.
Rolled at Segovia factory using triple-seam cap technique. Visible wrapper veins don't affect burn line. Average smoke time 85 minutes with excellent ash retention. Two minor touch-ups required in final third.
