Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I have really been leaning towards Lancero's and Lonsdale's lately. What is your favorite Lancero? CC or NC.

So far my favorite Lancero is DPG Blue or JJ.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

CC - Cohiba Lancero is right up there.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

CC- Cohiba & Trini's
NC- Illusione Holy Lance

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

the el triunfador was pretty tasty. had a forbidden x that wasn't bad except for the price. i'd like to try the holy lance some time.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

PuffnStuff release Pepin Blue Labels are my favorite overall with Tat Especiales a close second, Pepin Blue Label Fundadore, Oliva Serie V, LfD Double Ligero and Coronado, Cubao #3, My Father, Pepin made Miami 8&11 and '32 Signature, El Triunfador, JdN Lancero, PG Reserva Exclusiva, Troya Aged Maduro lancero and Gran Habano #5 lancero are a few I enjoy.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Blue label lancero for sure, I also liked the JdN Antano lancero, needs to drybox a bit though.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

All Habanos Lancero's are great except for Vegueros.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Illusione ~hl~ :ss

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Your CUT should be "lancero whore" :D

Best one I have ever had was a Davi # 1. Of those that I have smoked more than a couple and a wide variety of years... Cohiba.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

During my NC days: Don Carlos and Opus Lancero.

CCs:
1. Monte Especiale (close enough to be a lancero)

2. Cohiba

3. Trinidad

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

The Oliva V makes for a fantastic lancero!

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Partagas 8-9-8

Illusion HL

La Riqueza NO 1

GREAT cigars.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

:tpd:

I love monte Especials and they are my #1 lancero right now... as for a DC lancero I haven't had one yet... but that may be fixed soon... :ss

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Hmmmm never had the Cohiba Lancera, going to have to find me a box of those.

Trini Fundadors are very good as well

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

98 Fundadore :ss

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

If you can expand the definition of Lanceros a bit (hey, you are gonna cut off the pig tail anyway, and what's a ring gage or two matter? ;) ):

ERDM Grande de Espana
LGC MdO #1
Partagas Serie du Connoisseur #1

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Are there multiple Davidoff lanceros? I picked one up the other day at a shop in Chicago, but haven't tried it yet. I'm quite a bit more excited about it now, having read your response.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Da Klugs was referring to the Cuban Davidoff.
The Cuban Davidoff #1 is the name given to the vitola.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

CC's for me it would be the Davi #1, Cohiba Lancero and Monte Especial.

NC would be the Tatuaje Lancero and the Opus Lancero but I rarely if ever smoke these anymore.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

CC:
Trinidad Fundadores
ERdM lonsdales
ERdM Grandes Espana
Punch Ninfa
LGC Mdlle 1 & 2
(I have never had a Cohiba lancero, but the reviews make it sound great)


NC:
Hirsh y Garcia Panatela (one of my all time favs)
Padilla 1932 lancero
Habanos Torres 20yr lancero
Illusione HL
Opus X petite lancero
Oliva V lancero
JdN lancero
LFD Lancero
LFD Coronado lancero
Any of the Pepin lancero collection

I am a bit of a lancero/lonsdale/Cervantes/Dalia Whore. :D

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I haven’t smoked a lot of lanceros but I’ve enjoyed the few that I have. Trini Fundys and Tatuajes are delicious. :dr

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I'm with Mark...even if he is a Tarheel. :D

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I love the lancero size my fav's in no particualar order are

Tatuaje espesciale
oliva V
Opus petite lancero
La Riqueza
El TRiunfador
Taboo SFO

TRini Fundadore is my favorite ISOM (haven't had the cohiba yet but i'm sure it is delicious as well)

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Oliva V lancero is fantastic.

I have some El Triunfadors waiting to go down in flames.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Mine would be the Padilla 1932:D

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

LGC Mdlle 1 & 2, only had a couple but they were great.
Oliva V
Illusion HL

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I had an Olivia V the other night...very good... but Lanceros weird me out a bit with there size.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

This man knows. My list is similar excepting the Opus.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

El Triunfador. :ss

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

For me, it's the LFD DL.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

The best:
Tatuaje Especiales
DPG Padilla 1932
Illusione HL
Older Trini Fundadores

Coronado Lance was really dynamic, blew away my pallette, almost too much smoke... must try again.

El Triunfador didn't rock my world, but it was excellent.

Oliva V is great bang for the buck. Little lumpy, soft.

La Gloria Medailles d'oro #1 is a great lighter smoke for breakfast, but great flavor.

Really want to try DPG blues lance...

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

My Favorite NC's would be

Holy Lance
Tatuaje Especiales
Olive V

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Pretty much any I getmy hands on. But specifically lately; Triunfador, Illusione Holy Lance, Oliva Series V, and it's been a while, but it has to stay on the list...Cohiba. :D

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Not the answer that I wanted to hear, but thanks for giving me an answer!

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

All right, time for the stupid noob question. I've never had a lancero -- plenty of lonsdales -- and I know that is a hole in my cigar education that I will fill.

I don't mean to threadjack, but I'd love to hear why lanceros (particularly CCs) seem to be so highly regarded. What makes them so good?

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

You get the full taste of the wrapper.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

exactactly!

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Illusione Holy Lance!!!:tu

Working my way through a partagas from a city 90 miles south of miami.

A bit tight, but very good.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

All of them, especially anything PEPIN! :ss

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I had a great on the other day Cubao

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Padilla Miami 8/11 Lancero ranks at the top of my list.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Only lancero I've smoked yet has been the Olivia V, and I liked it well enough to pick up a couple more to shuffle off as gifts.

I've got a couple LFD Double Ligro Lanceros and a DPG lancero sampler laying down to rest for a while. Looking forward to trying all of them.

Ooh - and a fiver of ~hl~'s on their way to me. Very high hopes for that one.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

FYI, Atlantic Cigar is running a sale on a sampler pack that includes many of the sticks that have been mentioned in this thread.

http://www.atlanticcigar.com/spfesa.html

I'm not a shill; just noticed the sale and thought I'd point it out.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Not my favorite, but another lancero worth trying is the Casa Torano Maduro. :ss

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

Tatuaje Victorias
:tu

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I wanted to add another one to the list:

Casa Fernandez Lancero. Great Smoke!! I did a review on it.

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I would go with Partagas Du Conissuer #1 with Monte Especiale #1 right there neck and neck. I do love my LGC MdO #2's so I am looking forward to trying a #1 someday and still have not had a Cohiba but I am scared I will like it to much since I can;t really afford 'em.

I think I am starting to ramble again so I'll cut it short. Damn Whisky gets me every time. :al

Re: Whats your favorite Lancero?
 

I must say that I believe the Oliva V lancero is probably my favorite.
