Thanks for the review. When did Pete decide to release other sizes? I thought he had said the only vitola in the ET line would be the lancero?

This is 100% new blend from the old ET line. You can still get the old ET (only in lancero like you said) but there are 6 sizes of the new blend.

thanks for all the props guys.

Including a new lancero, but the band is different from the old lancero on all the new blend.

Great review, I've resisted so far, but might not be able to now.

Ah ha. How does the blend differ? Becuase it was my understanding the lancero was nothing more than the Cabaiguan blend with a maduro wrapper. What's up with the new blend and is the "original" blend going away?

You are right, the old one was/is a cabaiguan with a maduro wrapper. The new one is a new blend with a Ecuadorian Habano wrapper.

Pete has said he will continue to make the "original" blend also.
