Love lanceros! Favourites in NC Padron Ambassador Maduro, AB Tempis Creo and Olvia V (to be fair those 3 brands are about the only NC's I'll smoke). La Gloria #3 and Trini Functadores are my go to's though.

I have been smoking some well aged Pepin Blue lanceros lately.

Great sticks. Don't know if they are still around...

Had a San Lotano Maddie lancero yesterday courtesy of AdamJoshua. Very tasty! I definitely need to work on my stock of lances.

I've been finding that myths around draw issues seem to be mostly just that. Myths.

Sure once in awhile I find the odd one that doesn't draw well. But that's the same with any hand rolled cigar. More and more I find the Quality Control on NC's seems to be far superior to that of CC's.

What's your experience guys?

Lanceros generally smoke better compared to thicker ring gauge cigars. Perhaps it's the rollers are better than tend to the Lanceros.

Very hard to draw a definitive conclusion. I might agree with "superior". But far superior. Nope.

My and worth as much.

They are and they are fantabulous. The blue lanceros made for Puff N Stuff in '07 are out of this world right now.

In my experience, I would say QC is just slightly better on the nc side. Depends on the brand.

That's not the ideal cigar to renew one's faith in CC's, if that's what you are after...

Lanceros suck. I love Coronas. Lanceros require too much caution and babysitting. I like to enjoy my cigar not worry that it will go out or get hot in the blink of an eye. Plus men look like sissies smoking them. Just my opinions.

This past week I discovered the LFD Air Bender Villano. This is one lancero worth searching for. In the past I have tried the Oliva V Lancero but was disappointed in it having a bitter taste. I definitely prefer the smaller ring gauges over the big stinkies.

Tatuaje Especiales are highly recommended. La Flor's LG Lanceros are also quite nice. I'm partial to the Lancero in the Davidoff Millenium Blend as well. Enjoyed the LADC's and the San Cristobal from the sampler 10 pack too.

While the Cohiba Lancero, Trinidad Fundadore and Monte Especiale can all be very good, the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No. 1, while more accurately a delicados or long panatela, is one of my favorite non-domestics in this style, shame they've been discontinued.

All in all it seems there are many more marcas available in this vitola lately than in years past. Highly recommend trying a few if you haven't...

You and I are the only ones to say we like Coronas better...

Spot on, Mike.
Especially about the SdC no. 1.
The Monte Especiale ain't too shabby, either.

As far for ncs, Tatuaje Especials are pretty tasty, and may be my favorite lanceros.

As far as ccs, hands down it would have to be ERM GDE. Like a few has mentioned, Partagas SdC #1 are damn good too.

I've been smoking a lot of those the past few months. I've tried some of the other sizes, but the lances are by far the best of that line IMO.
