Appearance & Construction

The Delirium from J. Fuego features a Brazilian Maduro wrapper with a Costa Rican Corojo binder and filler consisting of Honduran and Nicaraguan Corojo. The wrapper on this Lancero is a nice deep brown with a slightly rough look. The band on the cigar was nice, nothing real flashy. There were no construction issues to speak of really. The cigar was capped off with a nice pigtail and was pretty solid with just a slight give during the squeeze test. This was consistent with all three of the cigars I smoked.

Nose & Taste

This cigar puts off alot of nice sweet tobacco and chocolate smells with a hint of coop. The pre-light draw allowed my taste buds to instantly pickup the cocoa flavors. After lighting the cigar I was again hit the chocolate that rather quickly shared the driver seat with a pleasant nutty flavor. For a lancero, this cigar was putting out a nice amount of smoke. Once I was into the second third I was thinking that this was going to be it. Just a nice, but one dimensional smoke. Luckily, I was wrong. A little ways into the second third the nuttiness and cocoa was joined by a nice spice that also brought another flavor with it that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. The cigar really began to pick up some strength during the final third. The first two thirds were medium but by the final third it was entering the full bodied department. The sweetness had faded out during the final third and left the cocoa, nuts and spice that complimented each other very nicely.

Final Notes

Overall, the J. Fuego Delirium Lancero was very enjoyable. If you give this cigar some time and take it slow, it will reward you with a great smoke. The finish on the cigar was very smooth and the cigar was in no way harsh. The burn wavered just a bit but never required me to look after it and the ash held on for a good 3/4 to an inch before appearing to need to be tapped off. The draw was perfect and put out TONS of smoke for such a little guy. I would definitely recommend you give the J. Fuego Delirium a try in any size. If you like Maduro cigars then there’s a good chance you’ll like this one.
