Good review.

Good review, AWESOME beard!

Lumpold · 10-16-2010, 10:02 PM

Yeah, IMO, my beard was the best bit of this review

BTcigars · 10-17-2010, 01:32 PM

Nice review, thanks!

Nice review...thanks for sharing.

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?

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!

Thanks for the review and sick beard!

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.

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

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!

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!

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.
