slickster81 · 10-25-2010, 07:32 AM

Excellent review Lumpy...and I agree, the Oliva V Lancero is one primo sweet smoke....

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

These have become a go-to for me as well. I never really smoked lanceros at all, but Ryan (MedicCook) turned me onto the V lancero and I haven't looked back.

Feral yoofs...I like that.

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.

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!

I can't agree more..... Had my first lancero Friday night and it was freaking good

The V double robusto has been a staple of my mine for some time, but now it appears it won't be the only V in my collection.

Vs in my rotation include: Double Robusto, Double Toro, Churchill Extra, and of course the Lancero.

Give the Padron (regular series) Panatela a try, they pack a lot of flavor in a small RG.

I was talking to a roller about the thinner cigars once, and he said the blends of the thinner RG's have more aromatic leaf in them to give more flavor in a smaller package, also he said the wrappers are always of the finest quality so as to impart the best flavor as well.

I love the thinner RG cigars, and have recently gotten in touch with Dr. Alejandro Martinez Cuenca of Joya De Nicaragua, my all time favorite NC asking that he create a Lancero or Panatela in the Celebracion blend, and maybe a PC in that blend. Hopefully.....

Thanks for the review and sick beard!

papichulo · 11-07-2010, 07:42 AM

Great review. The first V's Papajohn hooked me up with a few years ago were incredible, but not that way anymore IMHO. As for the lancero, I had one last night that had lighting issues. I am going to keep these in the back of my humidor and revisit them in a year or two.

11-25-2010, 08:39 PM

Great review! I have not yet had the pleasure of smoking the V lancero.. although I have smoked the delicious Illusione Holy Lance maduro and the downright amazing El Triunfador lancero. I love the size!

I'm going to pick up the Oliva V lancero when I get the chance.

From one bearded BOTL to another, nice beard, man! Haha

Blak Smyth · 10-27-2011, 05:20 AM

Just smoked my first one last night, gotta say an instant top ten smokes for me.
I have had the #4 and loved it, but this is even beter IMO.
It had the perfect amount of spice and chocolate flavors!

HollywoodQue · 10-27-2011, 05:35 AM

Thanks for the review!

WittyUserName · 10-27-2011, 05:39 AM

This is a great cigar. Jake bombed me one and I need to get more.

dave · 10-27-2011, 07:39 AM

Well done! Thanks for the review, the humor, and the reminder that it is well past time for me to dig one of these out.

10-27-2011, 08:25 AM

Excellent review on one of my favorites.

gator_79 · 10-27-2011, 11:07 AM

Very nice review. Although I consider my self in the minority, the only Oliva that does it for me is the V Maduro.

Oh yeah, Shane. The V Lance is in my top five! I knew James would like it when I sent them to him!! I should have purchased half a dozen boxes in 2008 when I got the one I did buy!!!! They age very well, only getting better and better with age!
