🇨🇮 I am smoking my first Lancero. It’s a Rocky Patel Sungrown Maduro, so definitely excellent. I must say, kind of a funky looking Vitola.

Bizzare. Just had one myself this afternoon. Was a gift and a nice smoke.

I love the smaller ring gauges of most cigars.Lancero's are a fave as well as PC's

The correct term is panatela fuzznuts

The lancero is a great vitolo IMHO. Totally dig them. Lanceros fall under the Panatela category, but sizes will vary so ignore GNF. The wombat also hates lanceros.

If you like the Rocky, try his Super Ligero in lancero.

Lancero's can easily be the best representation of a blend, and are often more flavorful than the larger ring-guage ilk. That's not 100% across the board mind you, but I've had several that were definitely the best of the line. Some standouts that you should really try:

Olivia V Lancero

Olivia Cain F Lancero (muuuuuch beter than the other vitolas to me)

Illusion Holy Lance (prefer the Candela version of this, it's basically the only candela cigar I whole-heartily recommend. Illusione's one of the few brands that gets Candela right anyway, so try their others, just don't expect the ALec Bradleys and RP's of the world to get a candela to taste good)

Tat Black/Brown Lancero

Probably not thinking of a bunch of others (and didn't even mention Cubans) but that list is a good starting point.

Works the other way as well, a small ring gauge can be the WORST in the line! A cigar that you think is, OK, not bad, in a big ring might make you reaching for the mouthwash in a lancero!

Some of the long skinnies are also referred to as "lonsdales"...

Other great cigars in that vitola: My Father lancero, Jaime Garcia lancero, L'Atelier Extension de la Racine 2015 lonsdale, Trinidad Fundadore (CC), 601 La Bomba Warhead, old Camacho Corojo Maduro lonsdale, original Cuenca y Blanco lonsdale

think Clint Eastwood favored the lanceros in his western roles...

Delta, I think he was smoking backwoods.

But maybe Parodi or Tuscani(Toscano Garibaldi ?) in those Italian movies. I looked briefly and could not spot what he was smoking in a search. They did make some Clint Eastwood cigars around the middle of the first decade of this century.

La Palina Goldie #2 Laugito comes to mind as an excellent Lonsdale.

PL MC, La Duena PL, Opus PL, DC #13 etc... many good smokes in this vitola. My preferred smoke.

One of the best examples of what the Lancero brings out in blends is the Tatuaje Miami Especiales.I totally dig the Miami's but the Especiale is absolutely one of the best sticks currently available anywhere.Aged a couple years nothing else compares in my opinion.
