Oliva V Lancero

I have avoided the Lancero because the ring gauge made the cigar look like it would not offer as much flavor. I will have to give them a second look.

Definitely give it a try...I had the same assumption as you going into it...boy was I WRONG!! You get much more flavor from the wrapper because of the higer wrapper to filler ratio and that can go a long with a flavorful wrapper.

Also, I couldn't help but have a little fun with your pics....anybody else see a resemblance?

Now all I need is my own country... although I do play the Tropico series of games quite a bit

As the SandBoa said, Lanceros tend to take a lot of flavour from the wrapper... I always enjoy the smaller RG smokes for this. Also, I find that a 7/7.5"x38 stick lasts about the same time as a robusto, but the flavours seem more pronounced!
