Default Re: Lancero?

Here is my rule: If you like the wrapper on a specific cigar, try the vitola with the smallest ring gauge. A smaller ring means you get more wrapper flavor in each puff.

The lancero craze may have started out as a fad, but I think it's caught on because some people really like them. They're not usually a long smoke (around a robusto, in most cases), and are often very flavorful compared to the same stick in a bigger ring.

One valid critisism is that lanceros are usually not as strong in terms of nicotine because they don't have as much filler. So a smoker who is after a real kick might not find them to be the best vitola.

On the flip side, people who like yummy cigars but can't take a lot of strength can often handle the lancero version. Example: Oliva Series V.

I personally love lanceros, and in many cases they are my favorite size in a given blend. I'm into corona and petite coronas lately as well, for the same basic reason (more wrapper).

Along with those already mentioned, I like the Rocky Patel Fusion best in the lancero format, same with the Tatuaje Victorias (a 38-ring, basically a petite lancero). I also love the Tauaje Noella, but that's a standard corona I believe.
