Default El Triunfador Lancero (Tat)

First smoke in a couple of months. I can't tell you all the cigar was doing. What I can tell you is that it was delcious, the draw was near perfect and the burn never needed to be touched up.

Things I picked up. Sweet spice, and good stuff. I dunno. It was good?
Anyway, I'm back in business.

Gerard turned me onto these...very tasty stick. One of the few non-maduros that I enjoy.

I might be misunderstanding you but the Triunfadore is a maduro.

You are absolutely right...made from the same broadleaf wrapper as the La Riqueza. Not as dark as my usual maddies is what I should have said.

While I enjoyed it, I think the Triunfador is overrated. I prefer the Oliva V Lancero.

Great stick also.....I think the Cabaiguan maddie also uses the same wrapper. And I understand that's what the Triunfador is.....a Cabbie Maddie in lancero format.

I just finished one of these (picked up a box from Leaf and Ale a few months ago). It was a great smoke!

The El Triunfadors are my favorite lanceros right now. Been meaning to pick up a few more as I'm running out. Thanks for the review!

In my opinion, I think the Viaje Platino Lancero is one of the best lancero's out on the market!

The Nestor Miranda Special Seleccion Lancero, Cuvee Grand Centro Lancero 2006 and the My Father Lancero are pretty damn good too!

(....and I do prefer the El Triunfador over the V Lancero.)

These are pretty good sticks. I picked up a box and a 5 pack about a year and a half ago. The 5 pack went pretty quick. The box hasn't been opened yet. It might be time to sample one of them in the box.

I just tried one the other night and wasn't too happy with it until the 2nd third. Then it got good and better. I enjoyed it overall.

the new ones are out. You can get them at new havana cigars (and I'm sure some other places)
