The 2025 entry in Plasencia's Chinese zodiac series, released as a 7 x 40 Lancero. A thin ring gauge is a deliberate choice here — it puts the wrapper leaf in charge of the flavor.
Bright and precise: cedar, white pepper, a mineral note underneath and a long dry finish. Lanceros are harder to roll well and less forgiving to smoke, and this one rewards the extra attention.

Take it slow — a lancero will get hot if you push it.
