\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Although our J. Grotto Series Reserve premium cigars rest for six months after leaving the rolling tables,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reports Paul Joyal, president of Ocean State Cigars, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we test-smoked samples of our new 7-3\/8″ x 40 Lancero Limitado that had only 10 weeks of aging.\u00c2\u00a0 We were amazed at the blend of flavors and aromas in this new cigar.\u00c2\u00a0 It is nothing less than rich and harmonious, delivering toast and smooth caramel flavors.\u00c2\u00a0 This cigar may well become our signature cigar.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

This latest addition to the J. Grotto Series Reserve line is a limited-availability cigar, at only 1,000 cigars, thus its name: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153J. Grotto Series Reserve Lancero Limitado.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The Lancero Limitado will be offered only at retailer events that feature J. Grotto cigars.\u00c2\u00a0 Each participating retailer will be allocated four boxes (forty cigars) of Lanceros Limitados per event.\u00c2\u00a0 Packaging it in only ten-cigar boxes, and in limited- per-event quantities, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153will add to its cachet,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Joyal.\u00c2\u00a0 The boxes will be a smaller rendition of the same high-quality cedar boxes and lush artwork as seen in the rest of the line.<\/p>\n

The cigars are hand made, using three-year aged select tobaccos … a Nicaragua-grown Criollo 99 wrapper and Criollo 98 binder, plus a filler of Honduran-grown ligero and Jalapa leaves.\u00c2\u00a0 The Lancero Limitado joins four existing J. Grotto Reserve shapes … Gran Corona (5-5\/8″ X 46), Gran Robusto (5″ X 52), Gran Toro (6″ x 52), and Gordo 6″ x 60. The Lancero Limitado is full-bodied, but tempered by the aging and balanced blending, yielding a sophisticated smoke.\u00c2\u00a0 Like all J. Grotto cigars, it is entubado<\/em>-bunched for smooth, easy draw and uniform burn.\u00c2\u00a0 Its pigtail-capped head, gives it a distinctively traditional look.<\/p>\n

States Joyal, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Historically, Lanceros have appealed to only the few.\u00c2\u00a0 We think the performance of this cigar, especially its tamed power and opulent flavor, will awaken a larger audience to this elegant shape.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 The cigars will be ready in August for J. Grotto retailers to schedule in-store events with Joyal.\u00c2\u00a0 Manufacturer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s suggested retail pricing for the new J. Grotto Reserve Lancero Limitado is $8.95.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
