The LFD (La Flor Dominicana ) is a great lancero although it's listed as a double ligero I have read that due to the lancero size and the oil content of the ligero less is used in the lancero so it is not as balls to the wall strong as say a double ligero chisel. There are a lot of flavors going on in this stick earthy hints of chocolate,pepper citrus on the finish. As far as an NC lancero goes the LFD is a stand out for me.

For me its the Illusione Holy Lance and the Padilla 1932 :-)

I like to dry box my cigars before I smoke them. This especially helps with lanceros. If it doesn't draw well pre-light, then the cigar doesn't get torched. You might not be able to save cigars that are rolled like tent pegs, but it can help for some that are on the tighter side.

Here's what I like:

Opus PL - they're on the pricier side, but I can't ever recall smoking a Fuente with a construction problem.

Tatuaje Especiales - these are tasty treats.

I tend to find that I get better draws on Lanceros if I V-Cut them rather than use a guillotine cutter on them.

Ahhh reminds me of the old Cohiba Lanceros!

I think the Tempus by Alec Bradley is a decent cigar in most vitolas, but very good in lancero (they call it the Creo). Looks like they're about $7 and change online.

I forgot about the Illusione HL. Another great lancero! And around $7 to boot.

I've been on a lancero binge lately. I'm new to the vitola and no expert but I've liked

Oliva V
Hirsh y Garcia
La Aurora Cameroon
Tempus Creo
Cubao #3 for a slightly mellower smoke

I'll add another hooray for the Holy Lance. Rev, I've sailed through almost 2 boxes and never had a single one that drew too tightly. Not one.:-)

I loved the Cubao Lanc. I would love to try the My Father next.
[Reply]

Just for the record, Taboo has the Oliva V lancero on sale now for $4.99.
Use the 35% off option by May 31 and drop that to $3.25.

Glad I could help. :-)

Thanks for the "Push", Tim!:-)

I do what I can, Greg. :-)

The My Father Lancero is a friggin crack stick... Addictive and heavy!
[Reply]

Nothing new to add, but I would go...

Oliva V
Illusione HL
Cubao
My Father

I won't shy away from any of those sticks.

I have enjoyed most of the ones mentioned here and several are favorites. I will mention one more though... the Nestor Miranda Collection Special Selection. I was gifted one my Stitch and was really impressed. I have since picked up a couple of 5ers from cBid for under $15.

Were I not broke, would grab that immediately. Haven't had a lot of the others mentioned, but have had this one, and it is wonderful.
