Olivia makes the Cain series as part of their Studio Tobac line.  The Cain F is billed as 100% Ligero and I have reviewed the Torpedo before.  The Lancero is a different beast though.  Lanceros are traditionally thought to be a more flavorful, stronger shape because the compacted size allows for all the flavors to shine through. 

      

Appearance: The wrapper is milk chocolate in color with a red band around the foot.  The tube is just awesome!  What a great presentation piece.      10/10

Construction: There were a couple of soft spots but I don’t think it is anything to worry about.  It is probably due to the smaller ring gauge.          8/10

Burn:   Flawless.         10/10

Aroma:  There is not too much aroma coming off this thing.  Maybe a bit of ammonia?       8/10

Draw: I really like the lancero format because you tend to get really good rollers on that particular size.  Draw was perfect.        10/10

Flavor: You can REALLY taste the Ligero leaf.  Kind of a wasabi heat on the back of your throat and horseradish on the roll.  Very intense.    9/10

Availability: You can find these on line and in stores but they are sometimes backordered.        9/10

Personal Overall Experience: Wowsa!   This thing brought the heat.  I would recommend smoking this on a full stomach.  The ligero is powerful and the flavors intense.  I luckily bought a box of these and will be looking for more in the future.  The price point is great too.  These are not for the weak willed and faint of heart.     30/30

Total: 94/100
