It is an unfamiliar brand and carries a name that doesn’t mean much on the surface, but the Blanco NINE Lancero cigar has a history and pedigree worthy of the finest premium smokes. The company is owned by the Blanco family, whose legacy stretches back 80 years to Cuba’s Pinar Del Rio province. There, they first established a family connection with their cousins the Plasencias, a relationship that persists to this day. You might recognize the Placensias as one of the largest purveyors of tobacco in the world and responsible for some of your favorite brands released by a variety of companies. The NINE, a Nicaraguan Puro, was created as a collaboration between the two families as the ninth developed blend of ligero tobaccos paired with a 3-year-old Oscuro Corojo.
Small cigar companies usually have their breakout moment on the backs of a mild and approachable smoke, but the Blanco NINE Lancero is a full bodied and full flavored stogie that’s dead set on winning the respect of seasoned aficionados. Dense and heavy in hand with a dark, mottled appearance and a pungent tobacco and spice pre-light taste and aroma, each flawlessly constructed vitola readily takes to a soft flame. A slow and straight burn is the order of the day, with booming clouds full of loamy earth, coffee, and dark chocolate. Some sweet cream and toasted nuts refresh the palate during the second third before the profile returns to a bottomless well of robust spice and cedar.
