Cuban Copy Sungrown lancero (7.5" x 38)

I grabbed a bundle of these on a blind buy as an addition to an order I placed with Cuban Crafters. These cigars appear to have been a vehicle to utilize some not so pretty wrapper tobacco. The wrappers aren't UGLY, but they ain't no $8/stick wrappers. Very faint tobacco smell to the wrapper. Good pre light draw.

First few draws...a little harsh through the nose; typical flavors for this type of blend.

About 1" in...not as harsh, but not fantastic either. A woodsy flavor is present. Good burn; white ash.

Toward the middle...pretty similar flavors. Straightforward tobacco through the nose with a woodsy finish. Good burn. Pretty Plain Jane cigar so far, honestly. Not bad but not great.

Guys, I ditched this one around the halfway point. It wasn't a bad cigar, and I'm very likely gonna try another one after a few months of humi time, but this one just ain't doing it for me.
