Through the years, cigar brands have been founded in a large number of different counties before eventually becoming available for the U.S. market, from Germany to Mexico to Haiti.

One of the more interesting brand stories is that of Dr. Stefan Lampert, who launched his own cigar company in 2016 dubbed My Cigar Lab. Based in the country of Liechtenstein—a German-speaking country located between Austria and Switzerland—My Cigar Lab was founded on the belief “everyone should be able to customize its cigar according to his/her demands.”

However, it was not until May 2021 that Lampert’s creations made their U.S. debut under the appropriate name of Lampert Cigars. The first U.S. release for the company was the Lampert 1675 Edición AZUL, which was a three-vitola line made up of an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaragua binder and fillers tobaccos from Nicaragua and Peru.

A second line followed earlier this year, when the Lampert 1675 Edición Rojo debuted during TPE 2022. Blend-wise, the 1675 Edición Rojo incorporates an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper covering a Nicaraguan binder and four-year-old filler tobaccos sourced from both the Condega and Jalapa growing regions of Nicaragua.

There are currently three different vitolas in the Lampert 1675 Edición Rojo line, all of which are packaged in 20-count boxes:

As is the case with the company’s Lampert 1675 Edición Azul line, the 1675 Edición Rojo is being rolled at Omar Ortez’s AgroIndustrial Nicaraguense de Tabacos S.A. factory located in Condega, Nicaragua.

The cigar is golden brown and has an average feel in the hand.

The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were citrus, black cherry, brown sugar, nutmeg, and earthy leather. There was black pepper rated at 7 to 7 1/2. Not a bad start.

At the first third (22 minutes) I had pretty much the same notes. The black cherry is coming out more and there are some nutty notes intermixed. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is roasted nuts, black cherry, and average/good black pepper. The cigar is quite sweet with nice notes. I rated the first third 93.

As I moved through the second third (41 minutes) there was a small split in the wrapper but I don't think it will deter the review. In this section the earthiness and nuttiness came out. Because of this the sweeter notes decreased. The cigar is still medium bodied. The finish is black cherry, nuttiness, earthiness, and very good lingering black pepper. The increased earthiness and nuttiness wasn't helping the cigar, in my opinion. I rated the second third 91.

The cigar lasted 56 minutes. The cigar continued it's slow roll downhill. The earthiness and nuttiness continued to slowly rise which led to decreased sweetness. The cigar is still medium bodied. The finish is unchanged. The cigar started out very nice but it just didn't last. I rated the final third 89.

Overall Score: 91
