read that from him not that long ago elsewhere. with the maduros going into full production next year i wonder if he will put these out again then, or if this is really just a one time thing. the cabaiguan 46 maduro's became a staple for me while grilling. i'm looking forward to my fiver coming in. might just order a box but i will find out tonight/tomorrow just how good these are.

Looks like these are backin stock at NHC !! In case people are still looking!

I was given a few by a friend and although the lancero isn't my size of choice I couldn't resist giving these a try.

The first one I smoked was quite good; very enjoyable in all respects. The last two however had serious draw problems and rendered them barely smokeable.

just got a fiver from new havana and had to try one at lunch. had a slight draw problem, but not enough to be that bothersome. very nice full flavor, some pepper initially, but not overly strong. think this one will be in the regular rotation.

I order some of these a few days ago. They should be waiting for me when I get home. I don't know if I'll be able to wait to smoke one of these on the weekend!

I'm smoking an El Triunfador Lancero right now at the request of a buddy. Pretty full bodied for a Lancero, which is quickly becoming my favorite cigar. Great smoke so far...will have to be really great to beat the Alec Bradley lancero.

I thought these had come out about a year ago. I'll post a pic of what I have. If it is the same thing, they are great smokes.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw that the cA article is almost a year old. That is the cigar I have.

They did come out last year. Seems he has just released them again and from what I understand will also release in another size.

I tried a few and they're not for me. Had burn problems and the taste was ok. IMO, not worth it for the price I paid.

I've yet to come across a Lancero that can beat the Oliva V Lancero.
