MBombay Cigars Kesara Nikka Lancero 9/27/15

Appearance 

Light brown in color with 1 prominent vein. Seams are mostly tight but visible. It has a tiny pigtail cap. Not much oil sheen visible on the wrapper. 

Aroma 

Barnyard on the wrapper and a hint of spice at the head after V cutting.

Prelight Draw

Light tobacco and a hint of spice.

1st

Initially a hint of mild cinnamon spice is enticing the lips and tongue. Dry toast is the only flavor along with the spice, that has presented itself by the time I am 1" into the 1st/3rd. The ash has held and is light gray with very little flake. The draw is a bit snug. The burn is razor sharp. The ash fell into the ashtray at the end of the 1st/3rd.

2nd

Partway into the 2nd the dry toast is joined by a dry roasted peanut flavor. The strength has gone from mild to medium. Late in the 2nd my palate is teased by a citrus tangy note which is a welcome change. The burn is still razor sharp and the draw is a smidge better. The spice which started as a mild cinnamon has transitioned to a nice allspice. 

Final/3rd

The dry toast, dry roasted nuts, tangy citrus and allspice continue thru the end of the cigar. Overall the Kesara Nikka was a nice smoke. Definitely a cigar that many will enjoy as a morning cigar to start the day. 

Thanks again to Mel @mbombaycigars for the samples for review.
