DPG El Centurian

Blak Smyth · 05-08-2012, 10:09 AM

I was lucky enough to try a delicious El Centurian lancero this weekend as part of a lancero pass at the Cigarfest pre-herf (thanks to Theo Cincy).

I believe the lancero was only available in the discontinued lancero box:

Does anybody have any experience with the robusto sizes?
I couldn't find any reviews on here, just wondering peoples opinions on these cigars.
I am sure some of you more experienced smokers have had your hands on these gems, thoughts?

Review I found elsewhere

I love them. I believe the entire line has been discontinued for years. They are usually pretty $$.
I believe them to be the most Cuban-esque NC out there.

Quite possibly my favorite cigar....

I believe 2007 was the last year, I can't wait to smoke the robusto I have but if it is as good as I hear, it will be bitter sweet since I can't get more. What do you do in a situation such as this? Special occasion cigar?

Definitely was a great smoke!!! I was floored when Theo decided to break one out the other day!!

Smoke it and be the first to review it here!

I may do the same.

I read a few rumors that the Centurian is the same blend as the My Father Special S (the one with the large S, not the small S). Anybody know anything about this? from the information I can find it looks like the big S might be given out at Pepin events and the small s given out with box purchases from vendors?!? I purchased a bunch of stuff from Famous once and they gave me a 3 pack of the small s.

I bought a box of the robustos like a year ago. Great smoke. They have aged very well.

Your right, I was amazed at how much like a cc it was. Just amazing!

Cuban-esque??? Then this one is not for me.

Mac-the maduro whore for life.

lilninjabuddy · 05-08-2012, 05:48 PM

I've never even heard of this cigar!

papichulo · 05-09-2012, 09:10 PM

From what I know the Ss are not in distro and are for handouts from the reps. A great smoke. I had one 7 months ago-awesome.

i have read this as well. i believe it to be true. the original "big s" has an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and the "small s" is a Nicaraguan Habano. the "Big s" is a similar blend to the El Centurion Guerrero where as the "small s" has a blend closer to the original My Father Blend.

Blak Smyth · 05-10-2012, 05:52 AM

Well I have one of the smaller label version of the My Father S and an El Centurian Robusto, maybe I will smoke them back to back on Friday and see what I think.

This thread stuck in my mind the last day or so, decided I'd smoke one tonight...in fact, smoking one as I type
