What is it about the Lancero....????

[RenoH414]

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.

No help from me. I have never had one yet. Lol.

I enjoy them frequently. You get a different wrapper-filler ratio, so if you like the wrapper it's a good deal. Basically you'll taste more of the wrapper than you would with a larger RG cigar.

Otherwise I think it's mostly preference. Not as clumsy or random as a 70RG, the lancero is an elegant cigar for a more civilized age.

Whaaaaat! Why not? Just hasn't happened, or you've been avoiding them?

I enjoy the shape of the vitola and the smaller RG. I'm also a big fan of PCs. I never got onto the 80rg, "mine is bigger than yours" bandwagon. So I suppose lanceros appeal to my feminine side.

Agree with what's already been said. Better wrapper-filler ratio allows you to taste more of the subtle and complex notes in the cigar.

@lvfcrook1503 I was actually looking at the latest purchases thread when I saw your box of DPG Blue Lanceros and that got me to thinking more about it. I kept seeing them talked about and yours was what finally made me ask. Very nice btw. I have a couple of the smaller DPG Blue's from a good guy here I'm letting acclimate before I set one on fire.

Thanks guys. The filler to wrapper ratio makes sense and I do recall @Bowtech4ever telling me before that is why he prefers the smaller rg in some of his smokes. I had just forgotten about it. Lol, like sooo many other things.

So what is the burn time for the avg Lancero?

Depends on the construction and type of smoker that you are. I average around 1:45 with them. Seems like anything Tat or DE smokes a little slower though. Had a Tat Fausto and Liga L40 last week that took me over 2 hours to smoke. I'm a very slow smoker though. I can easily make a fuente short story or a petite corona last an hour

I like them for sitting and just relaxing, maybe sipping on a beverage. nice cool smoke, good flavors, and they make me feel like Gomez Adams

Let me start by saying this is what I was told about a Lancero. I personal haven't researched the information. They are harder to role than a bigger gage cigar. So it is going to take a skilled roller to manufacture them. This in turn making them one of the better rolled cigar with a lot less filler.

Yep, I'd say I average 1:45-2:00. Smoke them slow! They get hot quicker than larger cigars and can turn bitter or harsh if you smoke them too quickly. Take long slow puffs, with plenty of rest between them.
