Today I’ll be taking a look at the latest Flor de Gonzalez limited edition that will be hitting shelves soon – the 90 Miles R.A. Nicaragua Lancero.

Roberto Alonso, the company’s former director of sales and marketing, is credited as the creator of the line’s name which refers to the distance between the U.S. and Cuba. Having passed away last year, the company wanted to pay tribute to him with this limited edition lancero. It was Alonso’s favorite size, and in addition the company used a sketch he had done on a napkin on a trip to Nicaragua in 2011 as inspiration for the cigar’s box and band artwork.
