I am really in to Lancero's these days....been hitting the Cain F lancero's on here a lot lately....also Oliva V Lancero's
ROOOOTT of course... no aging for me , as you all know LOL!! SO, Wombat, I know how much you like Lancero's lol send them my way!

Community bomb request?

Brave =d>

Tuck hates bus drivers.

:-"

Have you tried a Pepin rolled 1932 or Miami lancero?!

Excellent.

^ I haven’t I’m a lancero fan. Had good luck with recommendations from you fellas. Have to get a few. Any others. ???? I do have and like the original my father #4 (lancero)

Tat Especiales.................... incredible

Second Whistle's recommendation, add the Tat Black petite lanceros. Illusione HL are great (love the candela version) too. I'm a big fan of the Cain F, cheap and good. Holy grail for me are the Trinidad Fundadores, but current prices are silly. Partagas culebra aren't technically a lanceros, but are tasty as well. There even used to be a.... shudder...Gurkha lanceros, the microbatch TB something-or-other that was really good (think they were an early AJ Fernandez blend made for the mother ship). I'd also recommend trying out a blend in the lanceros just on general principle, sometimes you find that they are the best in the line up (the Serie V is a great example) and it's usually a vitola rolled by the manufacturers most experienced rollers to boot.

How long does a lancero typically take you guys to smoke? I mean, 6.5-7 inches takes a while, right?

1.5 hours ish

Seems to depend on the specific lancero I guess. I’ve had good luck with the oliva seconds lance. Cheap not sure if it’s the Cain or v but as far as I know that’s the only two lanceros they roll.

Oh and I’ll second the HL candela

I must be a slow smoker... a 5.5x52 would last me 1.5 hours.

Hour and a half to two if you’re slow, you do want to remember to sip not chug on a smaller rg. That’s usually why noobs and Wombat stick with Sixties.

I would add Illusione Fume D A’mour Junipero.

I might smoke a lancero tonight. I’ll keep note of time. I was guessing at my numbers. Somewhere in that area though I’d believe

Lanceros are definitely not for the suck’em downers. Plus, in my experience, you have to pay attention to it (…kinda like a girl on a first date…). I also believe lovers of lanceros appreciate the wrapper-to-filler ratio and the flavors they experience from the smaller RG.

On the brotherly site, February used to be Lancero Month but looks like that tradition isn’t being followed this year. Does seem rather counterproductive to smoke a 1-1/2 to 2 hour cigar in frigid conditions. Obviously for me, I can smoke a lancero anytime of the year…well, unless it dips down to under 65 degrees, then I’d have to wrap up, brave the cold temps and wish I had ordered that portable heater from Amazon…. 🤦

65 degrees is durn near sunbathing weather, ya tropical braggart

El Triunfador lanceros were excellent a few years back...haven't tried a recent offering...

El Gueguense are excellent recent lanceros...

"El" = excellent lanceros


edit: can't go wrong with any lancero made by Illusione..."Il" = impeccable lancero

Stogie I’m timing this one for you buddy. Lit up at 6:30 for easy math


And yeah palama. Lol. Well. I might get it wrong. I’ll try to count.

Taking a lanceros slow is a must as mentioned above. I am a very slow smoker so lanceros fit my smoking profile perfectly.
