Which DPG Lancero?

Mr. Ed · 08-12-2009, 01:04 PM

I don't think the Cuban Classic has the lancero size.

I've tried the Lancero sampler, all were very good. I've tried the triunfador and liked it as well. The Tatuaje Especiales was good too. I don't think you can miss.

I enjoyed the DPG Blue Lancero the most. A lof of spice and complexity and one hell of a smoke.

For what's not on the list, My Father and Cubao are also very tasty lanceros. The Tatuaje Havana VI Victorias (not a true Lancero, its only 6X38) was the only one I didn't really enjoy.

The DPG lancero sampler are not lancero's. They are shorter than most lanceros, but with a pigtail. The newer Blue Label Fundadores is a different size from the sampler Blue.

Wow! That's vital info. Thanks, Bobarian!

Not only did you just save me some money and some grief, you've reinvigorated the hunt.

I wonder why they made that decision. I didn't even think to look at the dimensions in the product description.

Unlike Cuban cigars, there is very little uniformity among the different factories.
Usually a lancero is a 7"+ and under 40rg. But there are some great lonsdales out there too.
From another post I made a short list of mostly non-DPG lanceros/lonsdales.

Oliva V Lancero
Casa Torano Maduro Lancero
Hirsch and Garcia Lonsdale-Cigar King exclusive
Augusto Reyes Nativo Lancero-nice and earthy
La Flor Dominicana Oscuro and Double Ligero Lancero
Alec Bradley Tempus Lancero
Joya de Nicaragua Antano Lancero
JFuego Delerium Lancero
Padron Ambassador
Padilla Miami, 1932 and 1968 Lancero
Ashton VSG Illusion
Cubao Lancero
La Riqueza #1
El Triunfador
Tat Especiales
