Nomad SA-17 Lancero is a slender 7 x 38 premium cigar featuring a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Created by Nomad Cigar Company founder Fred Rewey, the SA-17 Lancero was rolled at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua and became a regular-production addition to the SA-17 line in 2016.
The Lancero places greater emphasis on the Mexican San Andrés wrapper because of its narrow 38 ring gauge. The blend produces a medium-to-full profile with cocoa, dark chocolate, espresso, cedar, pepper, earth, and dried-fruit sweetness, providing a different balance than the thicker SA-17 vitolas.
