My bro, who traded me this Old Henry lancero stogie, told me it was a house brand for Holt's Cigar Company, made by Don Pepin Garcia. I'd had one before that wasn't a lancero, and maybe hadn't been much aged, and didn't remember liking it as much as this one.
- Appearance - 8.5 \ Cool label, but the nipple tie-off and the lancero format put me off at first.
- Burn - 10 \ Great hour-long smoke -- no problems whatsoever. Wonderfully worry-free. I attribute that to the design, maybe the aging, and to the lancero form factor.
- Draw - 9 \ Great. No worries.
- Plummage - 8 \ Fully good for the lancero shape.
- Flavor - 8 \ Great stuff. Not awesome, but really solid and likable.
- Overall - 9 \ Just dug this smoke, which was easy to enjoy while I studied on the porch.
Here's to the occasional smoke break, even as cities bar you from enjoying them at pubs and the winter months approach.

Man, I like your photo of the band. How did you do that-"Macro" setting on your camera or did you scan it?
I'm glad you liked it. I think that a little age really helps these and I too enjoy them-got them for my birthday from Michelle. That size was (supposedly) a special limited release.
I did the macro setting. It was hard to get enough light without getting a glare, and while shooting it handheld... It really would have been better with a tripod. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna go to THAT much work!
