Old Man from Old Man and the C set

kydsid · 08-30-2012, 05:38 PM

Smoking the lancer Old Man from this El Triunfador release. The set includes this cigar and a Culebra in the same size.

If memory serves El Triunfador used to have a lancero and I loved it until it was discontinued.

My high hopes for this one were well received so far as I am immediately reminded of the past. I'd say this is as good but lighter and different than the Tat Black lancer.

If you can find them buy em up boys.

Not a big lancero fan, but that looks sweet!!!!

TJtorpedo · 08-30-2012, 07:34 PM

One of my favorites! Totally agree with the comparison to the Tat Black PL.

The OR El Triunfadors are amazing.

My favorite stick from Pete. Not a fan of the new release.

I have one left of the original el triunfador lancero, I may just have to light it up this labor day!

One of the few sticks that gives me a nic kick anymore. Sumbish sneaks up on ya. Great smoke, which reminds me, I should break into the few we have left at work.

The OR's are the chit.

Just to be clear this is a current release that was just introduced. So you can get more if you look around.

hscmit · 09-01-2012, 12:41 PM

ahhh
I didnt realize they re re-released them, is it the original blend ?

kelmac07 · 09-01-2012, 02:51 PM

The new one is an all-Nicaraguan leaf center rolled in lush natural Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaves - a radical departure from the original Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped blend released in 2008.

I got my hands on an original today, shop has 4-5 more

Both are great, I wish they hadn't changed the blend though.

phidelt076 · 09-05-2012, 03:00 PM

Thanks for the review. I just picked up one of the Old Man & The C sets.

Probably going to be in the market for these. One of the better N/Cs I have had in a while.
