Nestor Miranda Lancero?

Col. Kurtz · 07-29-2009, 09:47 AM

Anyone had these?

Looks too good to resist, a sub-$3.00 lancero.

Can anyone confirm Pepin is making these? I'm a huge fan of the My Father lancero, should I just save my pennies for more of those.

Thanks!

They are very good. cBid has some for $13.50 for a 5er. I have heard that Pepin blended them but don't know that for a fact.

Thanks, just saw that. I'm trying to wean myself from CBID. Does the CI free code still work, if so that's the dealmaker....

I picked up a 5er off of CBid last week. I will let you know when I try one.

I agree, these sticks are excellent. I also enjoyed the coffee breaks as well!

dannysguitar · 07-29-2009, 11:49 AM

Yeah, the free shipping code should work. I bought 10 a long time ago, and have smoked about 6. All have been good except for 1 had some burn/draw issues. This is certainly a good deal.

Regarding the Pepin question, found this at Atlantic http://www.atlanticcigar.com/nestormiranda.html .So apparently they are blended by Pepin now. Just don't know when the change was made.

NCRadioMan · 07-29-2009, 12:15 PM

I think the ones at CI are older stock not made by Pepin. That's why they are getting rid of them at such low prices. I know this was the case a few months ago but now, who knows?

I have had one from CI and I didn't think it was the same as the current ones being produced by Pepin. Which are very good.

I have had both old and new and didnt taste a difference, and they were very very good on the Price/Value ratio.

The old ones were made with Honduran tobacco while the new ones have no Honduran but are Nic baccy. Defiantly a difference.

Thanks gents. I believe I'll hold off on these for now. It would be nice to know how to tell Pepin vs. non-Pepin. Not much into Honduran and Dominican, so I think I'll just save pennies for some My Father or LADCEE.

Thanks again!

OK, ate my words and ordered a 10'er today with the free shipping code. I'll report back.

Thanks!

Jerry...let me know how these burn...very interested.

I got a 5er a few weeks back. I had one ROTT and it was good. I am letting the others rest a while. I think they will be pretty darn good for the price.

How do you tell the difference?

Pepin is taking over the world.

these are good IMO have a hint of sweetness

chippewastud79 · 07-29-2009, 02:22 PM

I have had atleast 5 of them and enjoyed everyone of them. Scored a 10 pack from the Devil for $22 when they first came out. Gave a few out in the Lottery and PIF's and everyone seemed to enjoy them.

Adam gave me one in the lottery. I freaking love them. Buy them while you can at that price. You won't regret it
