Cubao No. 3
I’m back with another Lancero this week. Today we have EO Brand’s Cubao No. 3, which weighs in at 7.5†x 38. This blend is the brainchild of Erik Espinosa and Eddie Ortega with the help of Don Pepin Garcia. According to EO/United Tobacco’s website the Cubao is manufactured in EstelÃ, Nicaragua and is comprised of an exquisite blend of aged Nicaraguan tobaccos topped with a beautifully rich and oily Ecuador Sumatra Oscuro wrapper. The Lanceros come in a box of 30 and retail for around $180. Let’s see how this stick does on the heels of the Oliva Serie V and El Triunfador that I have reviewed recently.

Mike, Thanks. Actually had you in mind when I was talking about people who dont usually care for the heavy spice but might like this one. I don’t think it is over the top at all except for that initial blast especially if you minimize your retrohale.
I currently use a DV camcorder w/windows XP and Pinnacle Studio Plus.
The Cubao line is fantastic – does start with the blast, but fades nicely into a smooth cigar. I typically favor medium body cigars and I would say this fits neatly into this category.
Heard there could a maduro coming out soon . . .
Another nice review!
Seems a bit too strong for my profile, but I might grab 1 or 2 to try – Like Charlie or Chris told me (I always get you 2 confused :p ) I wont know if I like it till I try it myself!
Mike
P.S. – what webcam are you using? on the Apple laptop?
