Artesano Del Tobacco Eel Lancero

​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Artesano Del Tobacco is known for its Viva La Vida and El Pulpo Cigars. While they launched with Viva, El Pulpo Cigars seem to be their most popular in the cigar world. One of their rarer, allocated vitolas is the El Pulpo Eel Lancero! It’s the cigar for those who like to get their finesse without sacrificing flavor. This 7 x 38 Lancero concentrates all the remarkable flavor of the other sizes but amps it up with a more impressive wrapper-to-filler ratio. The San Andres maduro wrapper simply sings in this format unlike any other vitola!

The El Pulpo Eel Lancero is the sixth release in the El Pulpo Cigars series and continues the brand’s philosophy of adaptability and balance. It is also not the easiest to find! As mentioned, the El Pulpo Eel is an allocated project that is available only a few times during the year. The cigar, which was crafted at the famous A.J. Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, is the result of an excellent, intentional collaboration between the two and careful blending. The idea for El Pulpo came from the octopus. Founders Gus and Ben wanted to make a blend that would fit the smoker’s palate the same way the octopus fits its surroundings. The Eel Lancero is a perfect manifestation of that idea. It gives you the complexity of a very intricate character, yet it remains not only approachable but also very well-structured.

It is the richly flavoured yet diverse profile, where El Pulpo Eel Lancero is the most successful. Initially, there are intense notes of hot cocoa, immediately followed by steel pepper, which keeps going on and on. It is a perfect balance of toasted nuts and a slightly sweet note, while a touch of chia tea adds an earthy, aromatic quality that is very pleasant. All the spicy, peppery notes are well wrapped in a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper, which is very rich and has a smooth, lingering finish.

The Artesano Del Tobacco El Pulpo Eel Lancero is available at OGT Cigars! Whether you are at the moment one of the El Pulpo Cigars fans or just a Pulpo Cigars customer looking to add to their collection, this Lancero is an amazing pick. Made with great care and with an excellent balance of flavors, it is the kind of cigar that anyone’s humidor can be proud of and, at the same time, the one that will give a great sense of achievement to the people who decide to take their time and enjoy it ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌thoroughly.
