Bought a 5-pack of these 4 - 5 years ago. I think I mailed one away, and never smoked one...until now. I think I stayed away from them due to all the talk of how strong they were. Yep. It can pack a punch if you're not ready for it. It came from a small humidor I tend to neglect so it was a little dry, but still good.

Those are great, with rest they smooth out really nice. Have a box that I am not gonna open for a couple more years.

Agreed; with rest, they tend to become more smooth. The richness stays, and they still pack a punch, but they become even more enjoyable.

First one I ever had was from my Noob / Vet trade w/ DCLover, Greg sent a Gran Consul.....full bodied? Hell yes, did I enjoy it?......Helllllll yes. I think this might have been the first cigar that gave me a Nic buzzzz

Price is good also, anyone had the lancero in these ? Thinking about a box iffin they come with a recommendation.

I'm sorry Bill, but I thought "Everything" was better in the lancero vitola.......I have one somewhere, need to ash it

Generally I would say yes but seeing as I have never seen any reviews just thought I would pose the question. Ash that sucka and let me know.

The JdNA lancero is a bit spicier, and still a full bodied cigar, but not quite as strong as some of the others in the line. Ever since Jon worked with the rollers at JdN a few years nack, the draws have been getting better, but sometimes a few cigars with tight draws still manage to work their way into boxes. I haven't had any that were unsmokeable, just occasionally I get one that is harder to draw on than it should be.

Thanks TG, sounds like I might have to grab that box. I like the spice and the strength makes it sound like these would be just as good without the rest time.
