Cigar Aficionado · Apr 1, 2021

Wrapped in a beautiful, reddish-brown wrapper, this long, thin cigar draws well, showing a fruity smoke with hints of brown sugar and cedar.

Quesada 1974 Lancero

Halfwheel · May 31, 2020 · February 2019

I wanted to say that after smoking three samples of the Quesada 1974 Lancero, I wasn't quite sure what exactly the cigar was aiming for with its profile, yet I'm more inclined to think came up just a bit short of actually doing it. When the first puffs of the first sample are sour and chalky, it's not a great introduction, yet the rest of that cigar and the other two samples showed it was capable of delivering much more, and it is those parts that drive the score. The nuttiness and wheat set a consistent and enjoyable base which pepper uses as a frequent springboard to move the profile along, and which I'll most remember about the cigar. What left me lacking was the Cameroon component, of which I only picked up the most infrequent traces, and definitely not enough to leave me thinking I was smoking a tobacco befitting the name Cameroon, a varietal that without fail piques my interest. All together, the Quesada 1974 Lancero is an enjoyable cigar at a very reasonable price, and one that I wouldn't turn down if offered the opportunity to smoke another.

Quesada 1974 Robusto

Developing Palates · Sep 11, 2019 · February 2019

The Quesada 1974 Robusto was an overall average tasting cigar with very good construction. The first third's slick and oily delivery of baking spices, minerals and bread was a good starting point. However, as the cigar continued, it mainly became the same spice and earth character without the bread to break up the monotony. Purchase a couple to try, but probably no more than that.
