EDITOR’S NOTE:

It was not easy finding a supplier that sells boxes of the Original Lanceros, so if you are interested in trying these cigars out you better locate some now. They arrived with a couple damaged sticks (mostly due to the ribbon holding the bundle together). Unfortunately, due to my incompetent packaging (I promise to do better next time), a few of the sticks were damaged further in transit. You can see some of the wrapper issues in the above pictures. A handful of participants commented on the vitola not being their favorite (including me), but the burn on these lanceros is hard to beat. Not one person reported an uneven burn. The ash color, structure, and length were all over the place – not sure why this occurs, but I also don’t know that it is a big deal, just interesting. I am not sure if Ken checked the wrong box for “Strength” or what... maybe he was still dizzy from smoking the JdN. I am interested to try out the new blend in a different vitola to see how it compares.
