Whats your favorite Lancero?

[issues]

The best Lancero I've had is the El Triunfador (7.5 X 38).

Next would be the Petty Lancero or Corona Especial (5.5 x 38) 1977 DPG Black Label...

Oliva V. Looks like I need to try an El Triunfador though.

Try a Cohiba Lancero

or a Trini Fundador

or a LGC M'dor #2

[tenbaseg]

Tat Especiales
San Cristobal

[skibumdc]

Cohiba hands down.
After that for this sizing, Boli Especiales, although technically it's not a Lancero, it's a Long Panatella.

For NCs the El Truinfador is far and away the best NC lancero.

Overall the Cohiba Lancero would make the El Truinfador its prison ***** however. Only thing that comes close is a 98 Trini Fundadores or a Boli #2.

WOW!!!

I will have to find a way to get my hands on a Cohiba Lancero someday then.

Prison ***** eh?

I finally got the chance to smoke a Cohiba Lancero (thanks guado) from either '00 or '01 and I can say, they're just as good as an El Triunfador but I cannot agree that it makes the OR El Triunfador it's prison *****...

I just love the flavor profile of the El Triunfador even if it isn't as complex as the Cohiba.

CoLa

That's a bad CoLa. Try anyone that isn't from the sale stock, it's a crap shoot with those. Even the '08's I have though young are great. The Trifundador pales in comparisson.

Really?

I find it odd that one of the best Lanceros I've ever smoked would be considered a crap stick!

Didn't say it was a crap stick I just said if your Trifundadore was as good as the CoLa you probably got a bad CoRo. A CoRo that is on is a mind blowing smoke. The '01 Lanceros from recent sale ( Which I'm assuming it's from) are not the best examples of this stick.

The Tri is a nice smoke, but I've never once looked at it while I'm smoking it and said " WOW! This is what smoking a cigar should be like!"

Any

Is it an NC Cohiba? If so, which line since I'm not familiar with many Cohibas as I've heard they're not all that great (?).

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!

Ok seriously I've never had the NC Cohiba so I have no idea what they are like. But for my tastes there isn't very much better than a CC Cohiba.

I'm with alpha on this one, there are not many NC Cohibas that I really want to stain my breath with. If my wife's going to hold off kissing me, NC Cohibas aren't worth it.

Interesting to see this thread back up again, resurrected yesterday after having gone into hibernation last April.

I must say that I hadn't really been a big lancero fan before this thread - except for Oliva V Lanceros. I wasn't one to search them out. I have had quite a number of them since this thread, and there have been a couple that were noteworthy, but many others were not.

I enjoyed:
CCs: LGC MdO 1, 3, 4 (this was my fav of them), Trinidad Fundadore, PL Montecarlos
NCs: Oliva V, Nestor Miranda Special Selection

Lanceros that didn't impress me enought to do more than one of: RP Decade, DPG Blue, LFD DL

It is a great size though. I feel like I'm in a spaghetti western when I smoke one.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Is all of them and acceptable response? I'm a lancero whore, so it's very difficult for me to choose.

I was let by by CC cohiba lanceros. Trini fundadores-even fresh were/are amazing. Aged even better. LGC-althought a skinny format as i can't call them lanceros are amazingly delicious.

NC-Oliva V is a staple. Thanks to Issues ^^^^ I am going to finally try out an El truinfador. Mi Dominicana by Jose Seijas isa nice lancero. Also the Nestor Miranda Special selection Lancero is a winner, I will admit I think the Pre-pepin Nestor miranda lancero was an edge tastier.

[Powers]

Never had a CC lancero but most of my favorite NCs are in lancero sizes, guess i'm a lancero whore as well.

Among my fav NC lanceros are:
My Father
DPG Blue
Casa Fernandez
RP Sungrown
