It's a 7-20-4 in there 1874 line. This is a 6x60, and not yet released yet. The owner of the B&M I go to owns this line. The 7-20-4 was made in Manchester NH for many years. The original owner passed away, and Kurt Kendall bought the trademark and started the line back up a few years back.
The reason is, it has significant amount of Dominican as well as Nicaraguan tobaccos. I witnessed the development if this blend with Jose Blanco. there is also tobacco from one more country the blender and the company do not want to reveal. I don't think it will develop a lot with aging. I think it is a good cigar but not phenomenal. Jose had a lot of pressure to finalize the blend. I can't blame him for not being able to make something like 100 Anos. The commercial pressure is a bad thing. now a days we also see Davidoff is having the same issue.

Had a Cuenca y Blanco-Robusto last night. The flavors were very one note which I think is a little weird for Mr. Blanco. This leads me to believe it needs a little more rest in the humidor and and soem time for the flavors of the leaf to blend a little more. But what do I know?
i had a similar experience. I'm letting the next one sit a while to see if it changes.
Good to know I wasn't the only one as the reviews I have been reading are saying otherwise.
Yeah man, it's a consensus hit with reviewers. Justin sent me a couple, so I figured I'd let one rest. I didn't dislike it, but it seemed confused as to whether the blend was Nica or DC. Age may marry the filler, but I think they are not a good match ROTT. I will reserve judgement though until it sits, as I have seen many cigars improve drastically after 6 months.
Look at Rip just stroll on through with much SWAG and drop insider knowledge on folks. Thanks Rip for the insight. I am interested to see how the Lancero release is taken by the market. With the Lancero whores around this place it will be tough to get those.HA!
First one, (thanks jgibv!). I had a viaje last night, and this is verrry comparable. Nice amount of spice with a sweet, woody, pepper flavor. Draw is actually better than the Viaje!

A fantastic smoke in every sense of the word.
