Lanceros
 

Love or Hate?

For me as I delve deeper into the hobby I find more and more I like thinner ring gauges. Right now I am waiting for some Mi Dominicana Lanceros , Oliva Serie V lanceros , and some Padron Lanceros to come in. I got 2 boxes of each.

Had the Serie V before.

Anything Padron is good with me so I am almost 100% postitive I will love the lanceros.

The Mi Dominicana is going to be new to me but based on indie reviews im sure I will like them.


So tell me about your good / bad experiences with the Lancero Size?

Re: Lanceros
 

Love 'em.
One of my favorite vitolas.

Re: Lanceros
 

:tpd:

Re: Lanceros
 

Most of the best NCs I have smoked in the last few years have been lanceros.

Love the CC ones as well.

Re: Lanceros
 

Just had a Cohiba Lancero last night. Like a little slice of heaven :tu

Re: Lanceros
 

The Cain F lancero and the Cain Daytona lancero are amazing cigars. I've had 3-4 padrons and I was really impressed. The Tats are amazing as well.

Re: Lanceros
 

x12 :D

Re: Lanceros
 

When I smoked NCs I used to seek out Lanceros before any other vitola.
With CCs I love lanceros but there are far less to choose from (Current production) and they are typically expensive, but I do love them.

Re: Lanceros
 

Love 'em...just have to slow down with them though. They can get hot really quick. Take your time with them.

Re: Lanceros
 

I'll go against the grain a bit and say while I prefer a smaller ring gauge I like the corona size more... :lr

Lanceros are good... Coronas are good... Smoke what ya like... :tu more importantly... like what you smoke... :tu

Re: Lanceros
 

Don't get why these things aren't more popular in the production sense. I know lots of us here love them so I could only imagine the rest of the smokers do, too. Used to be some fantastic CC lanceros, but they're slowly fading...

Re: Lanceros
 

Had a Room 101 Daruma Mutante last night that was out of this world.

Re: Lanceros
 

:tpd:

This is particularly a problem if you are used to smoking larger ring gauges.

If I remember to slow down then a lancero is a great cigar. However, since I suffer CRS sometimes I forget to slow down...

Re: Lanceros
 

Lancero is best size, period!

Re: Lanceros
 

The further along I get in this trip, the smaller the ring gauge gets as my favorites. Lanceros figure prominently in the mix.

Re: Lanceros
 

I have that problem. When I first started smoking I thought bigger must be better so I was always smoking the bigger ring gauges. So even though that was years ago I still have to tell myself to slow the heck down when smoking a lancero or corona.

As to the question of the thread, I'm with Rob: I do like lanceros but prefer a corona.

Re: Lanceros
 

Cain F lancero is hands down one of my favorite smokes.

Re: Lanceros
 

Lancies are awesome. And I can't help but feel...fancy...when I'm smoking one. :)

Re: Lanceros
 

Yep, love me some Lanceros......screw this big ring craze

Re: Lanceros
 

What Mickey said.

Re: Lanceros
 

I have a special tuxedo that I wear when I smoke lanceros. I try to get my wife to wear a ballgown but she won't play along.

;) :D

Re: Lanceros
 

I just started getting into them more, especially since Scotty set me up :tu

I dig them but tend to smoke them too fast. Need to treat them like my pipes I guess.

Re: Lanceros
 

And what lanceros do you all recommend I try then?

I also have a couple boxes of the Cain F lanceros sleeping in the bottom of my humi , I have one every once in awhile to see how they are doing. But im gonna have to get some more if I keep doing that. But at 5.50 a stick I don't care. They are some of my faves for sure.

Re: Lanceros
 

Cain F Lanceros are amazing. I am partial to the Room 101 Daruma Lancero and I just picked up some Kristoff Maduro Lancero's to try.

Re: Lanceros
 

Illusione Holy Lances were one of my favorites, but for some reason I haven't smoked one in a while. Time to remedy that situation tonight!

Re: Lanceros
 

One of my first lanceros/thin ring gauge cigars were a la Gloria MDO 3 and a hoyo du gourmet. Both were amazing cigars! Since then I have really loved that size of cigar. Although in my heart, corona is the best size for me personally.

Re: Lanceros
 

Illusione Holy Lance
Tatuaje Victorias
Oliva V
Taboo SF
Rocky Patel
All good Lanceros:)

Re: Lanceros
 

I love them, my favorite size by far. Hard to find though, have to buy them online.

Re: Lanceros
 

I also love the Lancero size. I had an Oliva Serie V Maduro Lancero that was excellent, and I also had a Casa Torano Maduro Lancero that really impressed me. I’m always on the lookout for this size, especially in a Maduro wrapper :dr

Re: Lanceros
 

Love them. And anytime I see a brand carry one in the line I have more respect for them.

Re: Lanceros
 

My favorite size for sure

Re: Lanceros
 

I started getting into Lanceros after I started to get into smoking petite cigars. I used to be a big ring junkie, but found it took too long to smoke. So I switched to petite coronas and such. Later on I noticed that I liked my favorite cigars even more in the smaller size so I started experimenting with Lanceros and just fell in love.

In my opinion, smaller ring is almost always better.

Re: Lanceros
 

Try any of the LFD offerings, the Coronado and LG are superb.

Re: Lanceros
 

I've started buying them any time I see them. This price point on such a good cigar is hard to find. I need to see if I can find some more.

Re: Lanceros
 

Cain F's are great...

Kristoff Maduro Lanceros? :dr :lr

Agreed... I would also say the Daytona Lancero would be good to mix in with em so you have some variance of taste...

Re: Lanceros
 

Found them.

HERE!!!

Re: Lanceros
 

Love me some lanceros!

My Father is probably my favorite NC, while RP Sungrown lanceros are quite tasty if you can find them :tu

Re: Lanceros
 

I've been on a lancero kick myself lately. Had my first CroMagnon Atlatl last night and really enjoyed it.

I really like:
Oliva V
My Father #4
Tatuaje (Brown and Black)
Paul Garmirian

Re: Lanceros
 

Those looking for Cain F Lanceros, email or call Atlantic Cigar...

Re: Lanceros
 

Smoking an Illusione Holy Lance right now, so good!

Re: Lanceros
 

Love lanceros! Favourites in NC Padron Ambassador Maduro, AB Tempis Creo and Olvia V (to be fair those 3 brands are about the only NC's I'll smoke). La Gloria #3 and Trini Functadores are my go to's though.

Re: Lanceros
 

I have been smoking some well aged Pepin Blue lanceros lately.

Great sticks. Don't know if they are still around...

Re: Lanceros
 

Had a San Lotano Maddie lancero yesterday courtesy of AdamJoshua. Very tasty! I definitely need to work on my stock of lances.

Re: Lanceros
 

I've been finding that myths around draw issues seem to be mostly just that. Myths.

Sure once in awhile I find the odd one that doesn't draw well. But that's the same with any hand rolled cigar. More and more I find the Quality Control on NC's seems to be far superior to that of CC's.

What's your experience guys?

Re: Lanceros
 

Love

Re: Lanceros
 

Lanceros generally smoke better compared to thicker ring gauge cigars. Perhaps it's the rollers are better than tend to the Lanceros.

Re: Lanceros
 

I agree.

Very hard to draw a definitive conclusion. I might agree with "superior". But far superior. Nope.

My :2 and worth as much.

Re: Lanceros
 

They are and they are fantabulous. The blue lanceros made for Puff N Stuff in '07 are out of this world right now.

In my experience, I would say QC is just slightly better on the nc side. Depends on the brand.

:tpd: :tu

Re: Lanceros
 

I keep hearing about these.

Re: Lanceros
 

Maybe I have just been burned by a couple bad boxes as of late. Im gonna try and track down some PSD4's to restore my faith in CC's.
