Re: Lancero love
Torano Virtuoso lancero (7.5" x 38)
I used to smoke Toranos fairly often back in the day. Then, over the years they sort of became a CI/Cbid bargain brand and I lost interest. I haven't missed anything. Poorly constructed, lumpy, rolled so tight that the PerfecDraw won't even help. I pulled another one out of the 5-pack and it was the draw was a little better, but even worse construction. Tried to smoke it and gave up. Checked the remaining 3 and tossed them. Junk.

Re: Lancero love
The Torano Tribute were some of the best cigars I've ever smoked. I even used to smoke the original Dominico bundles, the ones with the skinny plain black band. I tried the new CI version and they were awful. Casa Torano were one of my favorite mild CT wrap cigars until I "scored" a few 5-packs for under $10 on CBid. That was the end for me. The blend was still decent but the construction was terrible.

Re: Lancero love
Smoking another Crafted By Casa Fernandez lancero now. These cigars are really great. I've already blown through my cigar budget for the month, but Serious has these for $44 for a bundle of 10 through Jan 31. There are 4 sizes, but I have only tried the lanceros. Try 'em.

Re: Lancero love
Thanks for your reviews.
I just placed an order with the Serious folks. Cigarpage had some Nicaraguan Overrun lanceros (maduro and habano) that were excellent--unfortunately they sold out quickly. Perhaps a prayer to the cigar gods will bring us some more... Quote:

Re: Lancero love
I never tried those! But I was a huge fan of the Casa Torano tubos. They were a lonsdale-ish size and were amazing. Those and the Tribute were my favorites.
