Detailed Description
The La Barba Ricochet Oscuro Lancero is a masterclass in blending for those who crave depth and intensity in a slender, sophisticated vitola. Like its Claro sibling, the Oscuro was born from a never-released Ricochet prototype and crafted in Nicaragua for only the most dedicated enthusiasts. The cigar features a US-grown Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper—thick, oily, and bursting with bold, earthy richness.
Underneath, an Indonesian binder and a well-calibrated mix of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvania long-fillers add layers of pepper, baking spice, dark fruit, and cocoa. As the burn progresses, sweetness and molasses mingle with earthy undertones, culminating in a deliciously complex finish that both challenges and rewards the palate.
Only 1,000 cigars exist in this format, and the construction and draw are equally impressive—ensuring the slow, even burn required to enjoy the lancero’s full potential. Perfect for seasoned cigar lovers and boutique collectors, the Oscuro delivers an experience that’s as bold as it is refined. Don’t miss out on securing this rare piece of La Barba history for your humidor!
