Lanceros

Sadden · 07-30-2013, 12:00 AM

Love or Hate?

For me as I delve deeper into the hobby I find more and more I like thinner ring gauges. Right now I am waiting for some Mi Dominicana Lanceros , Oliva Serie V lanceros , and some Padron Lanceros to come in. I got 2 boxes of each.

Had the Serie V before.

Anything Padron is good with me so I am almost 100% postitive I will love the lanceros.

The Mi Dominicana is going to be new to me but based on indie reviews im sure I will like them.

So tell me about your good / bad experiences with the Lancero Size?

Love 'em.
One of my favorite vitolas.

Most of the best NCs I have smoked in the last few years have been lanceros.

Love the CC ones as well.

Just had a Cohiba Lancero last night. Like a little slice of heaven

The Cain F lancero and the Cain Daytona lancero are amazing cigars. I've had 3-4 padrons and I was really impressed. The Tats are amazing as well.

When I smoked NCs I used to seek out Lanceros before any other vitola.
With CCs I love lanceros but there are far less to choose from (Current production) and they are typically expensive, but I do love them.

kelmac07 · 07-30-2013, 06:20 AM

Love 'em...just have to slow down with them though. They can get hot really quick. Take your time with them.

I'll go against the grain a bit and say while I prefer a smaller ring gauge I like the corona size more...

Lanceros are good... Coronas are good... Smoke what ya like...

more importantly... like what you smoke...

jjirons69 · 07-30-2013, 07:45 AM

Don't get why these things aren't more popular in the production sense. I know lots of us here love them so I could only imagine the rest of the smokers do, too. Used to be some fantastic CC lanceros, but they're slowly fading...

Had a Room 101 Daruma Mutante last night that was out of this world.

I've been smoking a lot of those the past few months. I've tried some of the other sizes, but the lances are by far the best of that line IMO.

This is particularly a problem if you are used to smoking larger ring gauges.

If I remember to slow down then a lancero is a great cigar. However, since I suffer CRS sometimes I forget to slow down...

I have that problem. When I first started smoking I thought bigger must be better so I was always smoking the bigger ring gauges. So even though that was years ago I still have to tell myself to slow the heck down when smoking a lancero or corona.

As to the question of the thread, I'm with Rob: I do like lanceros but prefer a corona.

Gabe215 · 07-30-2013, 08:25 AM

Lancero is best size, period!

14holestogie · 07-30-2013, 09:22 AM

The further along I get in this trip, the smaller the ring gauge gets as my favorites. Lanceros figure prominently in the mix.

poriggity · 07-30-2013, 09:22 AM

Cain F lancero is hands down one of my favorite smokes.

Lockspur · 07-30-2013, 09:24 AM

Lancies are awesome. And I can't help but feel...fancy...when I'm smoking one.

I have a special tuxedo that I wear when I smoke lanceros. I try to get my wife to wear a ballgown but she won't play along.
