I usually don't smoke cigars right OTT but these look so good I had to try one.

Now I like lanceros to begin with but the thought of a Lancaster Valley Broadleaf maduro is what made my mind up to take a shot and get them off the special a couple days ago. I'm glad I did and I hope 5Vegas offers them in their full-time line up as I will be buying more.

PA Broadleaf maduro lancero. Seems like the perfect smoke for you. Glad you're enjoying them.

Got one with your name on it when you get back from the RV.

Some of the guys have been meeting at Richeez in Hi-Nella. I'm gonna wait for Dante's / Sammy's to re-open.

These really tempted me as I love Pa broadleaf. But I'm straying away from lanceros. I wish they made coronas for the AAA and Diesel both regular production.

Don't know what you folks paid for them here, but the "unrelated 3rd cousin site" has them up right now on daily special.

$45 for 15 shipped on the daily deal on CBid.

That's a price even you can be proud of.

That's for 10. They were on special here starting 39.99 for a bundle of 15 though I have no idea what they closed at.

That's what they closed at. Not a lot of takers. I think only 75 or so of 250 were sold.

Surfish, did you like the original AAA's when they were young? I bought a tenner here then, smoked a couple, wasn't wowed by 'em, buried them in a cooler then rediscovered them about six months ago and was pleasantly surprised by the change.

Yessir. They did age right nicely.

The lanceros came wrapped 5 to a pack. I think I'll bury two packs for much later.

p.s.: I was talking with RP at CFest two years ago trying to convince him to do the Winter Blend in a lancero size. This may come close.

I got in on a mazo of these as well. I figured at $39.99 per 15, why not take a ride on these.

I had a bid on one of the fivers that showed up on the auctions right before this Private auction, that I won at my max bid of $15.

I'll have 20 arriving tomorrow.

Smoked another one last night................easily the best 5Vegas I have ever had.
I quit buying 5 Vegas long ago, but do wish I had grabbed a couple mazos of these.

Some of you probably have a few left, buried in some dark corner.........dig it out and smoke it...............you'll be surprised

You can't like 5 Vegas because they suck just like Gurkha, right??

heh heh
kwaj.............I've tried 18 different 5Vegas....... most back when I was a n00d..........
didn't take long until the AAA was the only 5 Vegas I liked...........then, even those grew boring................................EXCEPT for the Lancero.
The Penn Broadleaf really shines in this vitola, and it has aged well.

So I lied twice, didn't happen yesterday afternoon. I only had one fiver, must have gave one or two fivers away, I did find one. Had a couple buds down tonight and lit up 3 of them and everyone agreed it was a really really nice smoke! So whoever i gifted the other 5er's away to, could you please send them back? lol
