Thanks in advance. I received a bundle of lanceros a few months ago. Flavor wise they were spot on but I did have some problems with extremely tight draw on quite a few, combined with soft spots in other places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a message to John on another forum several days ago. I haven't heard back from him yet. I just got the Perfecdraw and think I will get a chance to use it from what I'm hearing about the lancero.

Optic101 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Had the Flying Pig today. Construction feels ok, draw very loose Very light at start, difficult to separate flavors which are there. Over time strength and flavors increased up to full at the end. Quite complex with mixed flavors. At the beginning it reminds me of a HDM DC, closer towards the end a RyJ Ex4. Ready to smoke now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I cant roll cigars to save my life, I've tried. The tobacco sticking out of the feet of those 66s seems quite stringy/stemmy as well. That is a bundle of RUSTIC looking cigars. I've smoked and enjoyed a number of gifted Johnny O's. I have nothing against them and I am not trying to disparage them in anyway, but I would not be happy receiving bundles that looked like that. Even with the leaf quantity/quality issue Cuba is dealing with right now, there are so many solid cigars to park your coin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! I don't have a ton of experience with them, but the ones I have smoked have been closer to the photo in this post than the previous two. I've had a couple of the very small "flying pig" type vitolas that smoked very well. But if I was in an LCDH looking for cigars to buy, I would pass on the two bundles above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I grabbed a few bundles when I was in Florida about 5 years ago. Overall construction was very good except for a few plugged corona extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Corojo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I had the same experience, from some WF Lanceros, I got a few months ago. They tasted great though!
