I was not familiar with Lampert cigars before joining Oxford’s Premier Club, I tried the blue labeled, ‘Azul’ robusto and was impressed. I’ve since tried to experience the other offerings and have enjoyed them all. This Ocean Breeze is no exception… it’s full of flavor, like eating a Nilla wafer cookie at the beach on a warm breezy day. There’s sweet notes, and vanilla notes, with a subtle saltiness that lingers on the palate. Delicious!

I got a lot salt and mineral notes on the finish. This is the first time tasting mineral notes that I enjoyed. I found some literature on it. “The Ocean Breeze tastes slightly salty from start to finish. This is because the tobacco is stored near the sea.” Interesting new method in storing the tobacco. This is cigar is worthy a try. It will be different than your usual rotation.

I don’t have too much experience with Lampert, but this is one of the weirdest flavors I’ve ever gotten out of a cigar. I got reminded me of those Betty Crocker sugar cookies but instead of sugar on top, it has salt, with linger baking spices/mineral here and there. I enjoyed it, but every one in a while the salt/mineral flavors didn’t hit my palate right. Give it a shot, it’s a unique experience.

I agree with you review. Specifically on the point of “it has salt, with linger baking spices/mineral here and there”. That is very on point.

So far I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve smoked from Lampert. This one was unique for sure. Sweet, a tad salty, some almond and some minerality. I’d say give it a shot.
