I haven't seen any 4 or 5" lanceros, that'd be a nice length in that ring. A lot less awkward.
As much as I like a PC, I bet I'd really love a shorter lancero.
Maybe I should revisit them and chop a few inches off?
I've always thought I would really enjoy the Oliva V lancero, but my few experiences were just plain awful. Maybe if I put a box up for a year, they'd burn right for me, eh?
At what RH are you guys keeping your lanceros to make them burn right for you? How long are you setting them back before you dig in?
Scott, there are a lot of great CC short and thin smokes, but I don't know that they'd fit your tastes as they're all pretty mellow and sweet. The Laguito No. 2 is 38 by 6' (Monte Esp 2, Cohiba Coronas Especiales) and the Por Larranaga Panatelas and Montecarlos are both quick smokes. There are others, but those are a good place to start.
