Maduro Sagita Petite Lancero
Quantitative ratings: draw 89, burn 88, construction 89. Medium–full strength, medium–full complexity.
Flavors: licorice, toasted flavors, brief “burnt popcorn” note; somewhat bitter finish, but pairs well with coffee or single malt.

Second third: earth, cocoa, and pepper, with flashes of nut and graham cracker adding interest.
Final third: sweetness fades, earthy and peppery notes dominate; solid finish, reliable and cool burn.
