Aesthetically, the cigar is dressed up in a maduro wrapper. To the touch, it is rough and there are some soft spot perceivable.
RoMa Craft Neanderthal H-Town OM Lancero: scents of cocoa and spices, mainly black pepper, are outlined before lighting it up. The opening brings the same aromas to the palate.
The first third delivers cocoa notes, earth and spices (mainly black pepper). The strength is immediately medium – high (4/5).
In the central third, the bouquet is enriched with intense notes of dried fruit with shell (a mix of almond and walnut, with the first more pronounced). Earth and black pepper remain perceivable and the spicy component is now less intense. Strength grows, becoming high (5/5).
In the last part, cocoa and dried fruit with shell (now only almond can be perceived) alternate. In the background the black pepper is still perceptible and, getting closer to the finish, it becomes the protagonist. Strength remains constant (5/5).
Overall, the RoMa Craft Neanderthal H-Town OM Lancero is an intense and rewarding smoke. The evolution is not too pronounced and the bouquet is not particularly wide, however, these aspects are put in the shade by the aromatic intensity: each puff is a riot of aromas. The balance is sometimes on the razor’s edge, but theStrength never become excessive.
