2012 By Oscar Valladares Barber Pole Lancero Cigars
If you have had any dabblings with the cigar world at all over the past few years, you are probably no stranger to the 2012 by Oscar series by Oscar Valladares. What you may not know, however, is that several years back, a special cigar was released within the series, destined for one small smoke shop. Production was limited to 200 boxes, and when it was done, it was done. Well, Oscar Valladares, being the peoples’ champ that he is, decided to bring that special stick back as a regular production cigar. Behold, the 2012 by Oscar Barber Pole Lancero! Made in Honduras at Valladares’ own factory, this unique blend uses two wrapper leaves rolled, of course, in barber pole fashion. Unlike many barber pole cigars, however, that use somewhat generic Connecticut and maduro leaves, this heavily box-pressed beauty uses aged San Andres Maduro leaves from Mexico paired with green Candela for contrast. The binder is Nicaraguan, and the filler blend consists of aged leaves from Honduras and Nicaragua. The result is a medium-full-bodied treat that once you smoke, you’ll never forget.
An ornate green and gold band bearing the oh-so-familiar 2012 logo adorns each 7” x 38 vitola. Luxuriously constructed, the 2012 Barber Pole performs like a champ, offering a steady stream of thick, rich smoke on every puff. The flavor journey begins with a generous dose of nutty goodness. Coffee and pepper join the party as well, as the earthy, toasty core holds everything together, along with a sweet and creamy finish. This stick finishes as medium-full-bodied and includes plenty of twists and turns as you venture through its unique flavor profile.
Not made for beginners, yet certainly suitable for many audiences, 2012 by Oscar Barber Pole should be regarded for what it is: a very special cigar. Though more readily available now, this blend was once only accessible by a select few, and with each puff, the idea that you are enjoying a rare treat is all but inevitable. It pairs well with coffee, dark rum, or medium-bodied beer and is quite a conversation starter wherever you choose to enjoy it. Compare it to other popular barber pole cigars, such as Asylum 13 Ogre or Rocky Patel A10, but you will soon realize each barber pole cigar is really in a class of its own. Whether you are a long-time fan of the 2012 Series or are simply on the search for a truly interesting concoction, 2012 by Oscar Barber Pole Lancero is an easy choice. Try one today and experience a unique and satisfying experience that will have you instantly reaching for another.
