Yeah. Don carlos lanceros are very htf. But they exsist.

Here's a review. http://www.stogiereview.com/2013/06/...arlos-lancero/

Gotcha, thanks gents. Is there a tell tale sign that distinguishes a DC phantom versus a sungrown lancero? I have one in my humi and just wanna make sure before I smoke it

AFAIK, there is no such thing as a Fuente Sun Grown lancero, so if you have something that looks like what Dave posted and is 7" x 41, it's a DC lancero. If it lacks the cedar, it's old - like 10 years or so.

You guys are right. I'm all mixed up! Good news is, I think I'm sitting on one of these and had no idea that it was so special.
