Wow what a great cigar! The flavor is awesome. Getting warm white bread, cashews, hay and cedar. This cigar smokes like an absolute dream. The draw was perfect, smoke output was great. This was a great representation of how a great lancero should smoke. This to me is 100% box worthy. Would absolutely buy again as this was awesome.

The Casdagli Basilica C #2 really surprised me. From the first puff, I got this smooth mix of cedar, coffee, and a little hickory in the background. There’s just enough spice to keep it interesting without overpowering anything. Construction was flawless—burned evenly and drew like a dream. Definitely a repeat and a box worthy smoke!

This is a nice Lancero with good flavors, but the construction was not the best. I had a tight draw that affected the burn so I had to relight several times. This cigar is a full body medium-full strength.
