Lancero fever - catch it!

[DogRockets]

I had my first Lancero the other night - a My Father someone sent me in an exchange. It was also my first My Father cigar. Not sure if it was the cigar size or the blend, but it blew me away. I hopped onto Small Batch and ordered some more Lanceros and they just arrived today:

5 My Father
5 Don Pepin Blue
5 San Lotano Oval

What other lanceros are smoking good now? Who else likes these things? Who hates these things?

Let's discuss!

I've seen quite a few posts from people who swear by them. I have to say, I am tending toward smaller ring gauges lately. They just seem to have much better flavor for me.

Any self respecting tat whore should be on the look out for the Tat lance sampler.

Ones that I've tried personally, the MF, and DPG blue are both great. Tat black petite lance was good. JD Howard reserve single action anther PL that was pretty good. If you like crowned heads they are going to have another lance out sometime soon not sure what blend it is based on though.

I've got a stack of various lanceros waiting for it to cool off a bit.

Haven't tried any yet...I like the smaller RG along the lines of corona, but the lancero seems a bit longer than I prefer. Maybe eventually...

That My Father #4 is one of my favorite lanceros, and one of my favorites overall actually.

I like the DPG Blues too. The Illusione Holy Lance natural and maduro are really nice too. Same with a couple different Viajes, and the Platino is my favorite I think.

I've been loving the Room101 Daruma for a couple years, and the La Aurora 107 lancero is great too. And of course the Oliva V lance, yeah baby.

[Cardinal]

Oh yeah the the Cain F lanceros are awesome for the price.

I love the lance and have had the pleasure of smoking a bunch of them. I don't think I have ever smoked a bad one, but would say my favorite is the Regius Exclusivo USA Extra (non Claro) Red Band. There are a bunch to try and the Tatuaje 10ct sampler is a good one to get your feet wet.

I know. I feels like you need to quit your job in order to smoke a lancero. @lvfcrook1503 told me he spends 2 1/2 hours on a lancero! who has that kind of time? I was at 1 hr 45 minutes myself and that was about as long as I could handle. Looks like the 15 I ordered will be lasting me for a long time.

Heh...ya got that right!! Only time I can smoke for that long is while camping and have nothing but time to relax.
You could always trade some fellow bums a few of your 15 for a 10-er of ghurkas...I know how much you love those...
