Rojas Bluebonnet Lancero: the cold draw, reveals sweet notes of tobacco and some spice. Once lit, the cigar opens with leather and nut notes.
Further into the first third, the leather and nutty flavors are followed by earth and black pepper. There is also a faint herbal nuance perceptible in the background. Strength is medium (3/5).
An espresso aroma appears in the second third, next to the leather, nuts, earth, and black pepper. The latter has increased in intensity, and the strength is still medium (3/5).
The herbal note returns in the last third and becomes balsamic and joins the flavor profile of leather, nuts, and earth. The black pepper has become spicier, and the strength remains unchanged.
Overall, the Rojas Bluebonnet Lancero is a flavorful and balanced smoke. The flavors can clearly be made out and linger on the palate for a while. There is also an evolution, albeit minimal, perceptible from third to third.
