A Dominican puro in the Laguito No. 1 — the long, slender 7½ × 39 format Cuba built for the Lancero, and one almost nobody commits to any more. EGM roll theirs totalmente a mano, entirely by hand, in the Cuban long-filler tradition. Part of our ongoing effort to keep the format alive.
Wrapper, binder and filler all come from plantations in the Cibao Valley, and the filler rests a minimum of two years before anyone rolls it. A 39 ring gauge puts the wrapper front and centre — proportionally there is more of it in every draw — and the result lands between light and medium: cedar, cream and a gentle spice. This is a morning cigar. Pair it with espresso. The Cigar Journal International tasting panel gave it 90 points.
