Have you compared the OR lancero V's to the new batches? To me there is a difference.

All the Cains are good (especially the F) and all pre 2010 V maduros are good (the new one with the mexican wrapper is not very good).

The original V Lancero came out I want to say mid 2007. It's easily recognizable and you may have smoked one without knowing it. The OR V's have no cello.

I prefer the OR V. Maybe it's all in my mind but I think they taste more refined and less spicy.

Possibly because it has age on it? I am curious if the wrapper or filler is different. I believe all the ones I've smoked and currently own have cello.

I am not comparing OR to current release in the present. I am talking about how they tasted when I bought them. The OR's right out of the box tasted better to me than do the current release right out of the box. Just my
