Nestor Miranda Lancero?

Col. Kurtz · 07-29-2009, 09:47 AM

Anyone had these?

Looks too good to resist, a sub-$3.00 lancero.

Can anyone confirm Pepin is making these? I'm a huge fan of the My Father lancero, should I just save my pennies for more of those.

Thanks!

They are very good. cBid has some for $13.50 for a 5er. I have heard that Pepin blended them but don't know that for a fact.

I picked up a 5er off of CBid last week. I will let you know when I try one.

Thanks, just saw that. I'm trying to wean myself from CBID. Does the CI free code still work, if so that's the dealmaker....

I agree, these sticks are excellent. I also enjoyed the coffee breaks as well!

dannysguitar · 07-29-2009, 11:49 AM

Yeah, the free shipping code should work. I bought 10 a long time ago, and have smoked about 6. All have been good except for 1 had some burn/draw issues. This is certainly a good deal.

Regarding the Pepin question, found this at Atlantic http://www.atlanticcigar.com/nestormiranda.html .So apparently they are blended by Pepin now. Just don't know when the change was made.

NCRadioMan · 07-29-2009, 12:15 PM

I think the ones at CI are older stock not made by Pepin. That's why they are getting rid of them at such low prices. I know this was the case a few months ago but now, who knows?

I have had one from CI and I didn't think it was the same as the current ones being produced by Pepin. Which are very good.

I have had both old and new and didnt taste a difference, and they were very very good on the Price/Value ratio.

The old ones were made with Honduran tobacco while the new ones have no Honduran but are Nic baccy. Defiantly a difference.

Pepin is taking over the world.

Thanks gents. I believe I'll hold off on these for now. It would be nice to know how to tell Pepin vs. non-Pepin. Not much into Honduran and Dominican, so I think I'll just save pennies for some My Father or LADCEE.

Thanks again!

I got a 5er a few weeks back. I had one ROTT and it was good. I am letting the others rest a while. I think they will be pretty darn good for the price.

these are good IMO have a hint of sweetness

chippewastud79 · 07-29-2009, 02:22 PM

I have had atleast 5 of them and enjoyed everyone of them. Scored a 10 pack from the Devil for $22 when they first came out. Gave a few out in the Lottery and PIF's and everyone seemed to enjoy them.

07-29-2009, 02:24 PM

When I was shopping CBid the other day, they had some specifically listed as the old blend and some as the new blend. Might not hurt to call and ask which CI is selling.

How do you tell the difference?

Dunkel · 07-29-2009, 03:30 PM

CI has them in their catalog for $27.50 a 10 pack. I got one in trade from Brent and it was very good. I don't care for long cigars in general but this one was tasty.
