I have to second the Oliva V lancero & My Father #4. Very Very Very nice sticks.

Lanceros provide a more intense flavor experience, in my experience. There's a certain... clarity to them. I find that they do require slower draws, and can burn hotter if not taken slowly, but that's also part of the joy.

As was already mentioned, I rarely if ever have an issue with the construction on a lancero, which is likely due to the skill required to roll the vitola.

A few of my favorites:
-Caldwell Long Live the King "My Style is Jalapeno"
-Caldwell Eastern Standard Silk Road
-262 Paradigm
-DPG Blue
-El Triunfador (OR)
-Tatuaje Black Petit Lancero
-My Father #4
-Tatuaje Tattoo (OR)
-Don Carlos
-Casa Fuente

There are more I'm forgetting, but all of the above have been stellar smokes.

Regius Exclusivo USA are also a fantastic lance.

Those are some great lists guys. I can't wait to try some of them. One of the B&M's that I visit on occasion when I can is gonna put a sampler together for me. Some of the ones he's gonna put in it you guys have named. It sounds like he's putting together a good one for me.

Thanks guys!!

This is the sampler he put together for me. The blank spot was one I asked him to take out so he's gonna fill that spot with a surprise stick.

How do you all think he did?

I see a lot of guys on here really seem to enjoy the Lancero and smoke them quiet frequently. What is it about them that you guys like so much? I'm very new to the hobby and have not had the chance to try one but in reading a lot of the threads on here guys seem to really enjoy them. I am just wondering if this is something I should be on the lookout for the next time I make it to my local B&M. Thanks guys and any info would be greatly appreciated.

ABSOLUTELY! get some ASAP I'm pretty new to this myself and I find lancero's to be some of my faves. I believe you get a better wrapper to filer ratio and it reflects on the taste. Try it, you won't regret

When I smoke a lancero, I like to pretend I'm John Travolta in the opening scene from Swordfish. I even hold it and gesture with it like he does...


Fast forward to about 0:45. I can't make it start at that point for some reason. Unless you want to listen to the schpiel...

Only ones I've had off that list was the Herrera and Tat Black both very good. I almost grabbed a single action tonight, but felt like it needed more rest just got them a week or 2 ago. Be sure to let us know what you think as you work through them.
