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...

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...

Tell Jeremy I've got some Gurkha's, they be right up his alley!

You know your Gurkhas are on the top row of your humidor that has the glass top so you can stare at them all day. Don't pretend like they aren't!

No way will they survive all that long.
You will find that you are able to find a little more time to smoke then and that two hour time frame may soon be your minimum when you set one alight.
The smoking time expands along with the enjoyment.

Haven't smoked any Tatuaje Lanceros, but they should be good ones.
The My Father is my current favourite in this size,but there are many,many I've never smoked.
Do remember a few years ago trying a variety, that may well have included a Tatuaje, the El Triunfador I liked least,
a Padill...,not sure but think it was a Miami, maybe 1932 ?... made by D.P. Garcia for me was clearly the best of them.

Try some PLs (petite Lanceros)

I am not a fan of Lanceros but I love the PL size.
