Back in the summer, Casa Turrent revealed new sizes throughout the four blends of the 1880 line. The Lancero is the first of the new sizes to make it to the market this year.
This Lancero delivers a balanced and rich smoke, with a profile that evolves in each of the three thirds. The Mexican Puro starts out with earth, wood, and vegetal notes supported by peppery nuances. Walnut, incense, and hot spices are added later on.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine Winter 2021 issue.
