Hmmm... Here's a fact I was unaware of until just now...Originally Posted by Cigarbear
I'm wrong on the lancero. It was one of their test brands that JR sold a couple years back. It's more of a 44 or 46 ring guage I think. It's been too long since I actually bought anything...
"The Spanish company Altadis S.A. acquired a 51% controlling interest in the company in 2003. The company continues to operate as a subsidiary of Altadis." - Source: Wikipedia
So - it would make sense that JR was selling a "lancero" (or whatever the heck it is) as "test" vitola of their (Altadis') H Upmann cigar...
I'm not a huge fan of H Upmann, but how is the "lancero"? Looks to be a very nice ~$5 cigar (e.g. Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, Dominican filler). I'm quite intrigued...
