Olivia has been mentioned here before as a quality maker of cigars. Their Serie V blend is by far their boldest. Five years ago you probably would not have seen me smoke a Lancero size but man o man, they are one of my favorite now and the Serie V is at the top of that list too.

Appearance: There is a reddish hue to this cigar with lots of oils present. 9/10
Construction: No flaws, blemishes or soft spots 9/10
Burn: Like a gem. Excellent burn. 10/10
Aroma: It smells like dirt and hay. 8/10
Draw: The think I like about lanceros is they tend to bring out the best of the rollers. It is hard to have a well flavored cigar in that small amount of space and Olivia did it just right with this one. 10/10
Flavor: It tastes like a well aged steak with horseradish. Seriously. This goes excellent with some peaty Scotch. 10/10
Availability: Easy to come by. 10/10
Personal Overall Experience: The lancero is my new favorite to this line. I love them. I can’t recommend these enough to a serious cigar smoker. I say serious because there is some power here and it is concentrated with the lancero size. Great cigar! 30/30
Total: 96/100
