Until 2018, Andrius Petrucenia had never even smoked a hand rolled cigar. Now he lives in Estelí, Nicaragua, and runs/co-owns the company making them. Back in 2018, the then five-star hotel concierge allowed himself to be reluctantly persuaded to attend a London cigar tasting which changed his life.
Andrius, from his base in the cigar-making capital of the world, Estelí states
“It just blew me away, totally carried me away. I’d never experienced anything like it and just like that, I was hooked on finding out everything there was to know about cigars.”
The company was officially launched in February of 2023 with the help of Paul Anthony of Bespoke Unit men’s magazine, now Andrius’ business partner. The latest release from the company is the Silver Line, specifically the lancero. You can read their full journey on the company’s website here.
The company prides itself in direct to consumer business model , offering a premium blend at a wallet friendly cigar by cutting out all the middle costs.
Today I look at the company’s latest offering, the Silver Line Lancero, introduced to me by my good friend and BOTL – Kevin (The Commish) Parow – Founder of the New England Cigar Militia.
The company notes:
“After three years of rest, the Silver Line Lancero—made with tobacco the team personally curated during their time in Estelí— is now finally ready to be shared. The blend delivers a refined, full-flavored experience from first draw to final inch.“
The full blend is described as:
- Wrapper – Ecuadorian Habano
- Binder – Indonesian
- Filler – Nicaraguan (Somoto and Jalapa)
It is expressed in a (7 ½ x 38) Lancero vitola. They come packaged in 10-count bundles and can be purchased on the company’s online store for $79.99/10-pack.
For this review, I sampled 3 of these which I received for the purpose of reviewing on Stogie Press.
Pre-Light Examination
The Every Day Is Cigar Day Silver Line Lancero is well constructed lancero sporting smooth reddish brown wrapper with near invisible veins. There is a fine oily sheen to the wrapper. The cigar is well packed with no soft spots in the bunch and roll. A well applied twist cap completes the construction.
A single Black and Silver band adorns the cigar. Simple in design, it just stated “EVERY DAY IS CIGAR DAY“. Damn, I like that, what more needs to be said, right?
Running the cigar across the nose I picked up a gentle baking spice note while the foot exuded fresh baking spice and mild butter notes.
I sliced the cap straight across the shoulder of the cigar and gave it some cold draws. I found the draw to be spot on with restriction and offered inviting notes of growing peppery spice and a touch of butter. Savory indeed!!
Using my single flame torch, I warmed the foot to an even orange glow and drew in the first puffs of black pepper spice to start the journey. Follow along as I burn this one to ash.

Final Analysis
The Every Day Is Cigar Day Silver Line Lancero is a lancero for lancero lover for sure. It delivers a refined medium-bodied experience that balances sweet, spice, and cream elements with impressive consistency. The construction is solid, with a steady burn line, clean combustion, and a reliable draw producing voluminous smoke throughout. While the ash tended to fall frequently, it consistently revealed a centered burn cone, indicating good internal construction.
From a technical standpoint, the flavor transitions are well-defined and smoothly layered — beginning with pepper and fruit brightness, building through creamy chocolate and cinnamon, and culminating in toasted caramel and espresso depth. The natural sweetness evolved beautifully without ever becoming cloying, and the balance between sweet and spice remained intact through the finish.
Overall, this cigar exemplifies skilled blending and combustion control, delivering a clean, flavorful, and texturally rich smoke from start to finish. A perfect companion for those who enjoy a medium-strength cigar with evolving sweetness, subtle spice, and a creamy close. Grab a bundle of these!
