I had the opportunity to smoke this lil guy at a Herf a couple of nights ago here in town. I gotta say that its an outstanding little smoke. If you get the opportunity to pick one up, I assure you that you will be very pleased.

Secondly, if anyone IS familiar, I'm looking for a box split!

Here's a review I found of it on the site. Weird how one search tool found this but the other did not.

I agree, I like this little stick. I ended up buying a box. Lil note though, you need to let these rest at least a month or so as my box tasted very young... since then they are not very complex but nice none-the-less. When you smoke one you can tell that Pete J had his hand in this cigar.

We smoked some fresh shipped.. The first 1/3 did taste fresh-crisp-young, but I enjoy that. I can't wait to sit on a box for a year or two!

X2 on Tim's advice. I had some with 2months time and a day in a dry box and it was definitely a nicer smoke from the day I got them.

Pete had nothing to do with it. Good observation on the humi time. Lay them down for 6 months and they'll do a complete 180. They're very component-driven right now yet, still very smokable. These cigars are built to live a MINIUM of 10 years.

Hey Vudu,

How about a special edition lancero in the 68 blend. Please Please Please
 
I love them too!

Does the company make a sampler of all the different sizes? I'd love to buy one.

Also the webpage says only in selected dealers in the US and Europe, however I found no European listings :(
 
I just picked up two of these from Dion's shop (Fumare in Reno, NV) yesterday along with one each Tat East Coast and West Coast! Now I am really looking forward to trying the 68s.
 
Well looky what the postman just delivered..

Time for a BREAK!!!!

The date code is Jul 2 2007, so these'll be real fresh tasting I'm sure!

Well, I burned one of these 68's tonight and I'm damn glad I bought em.. Hell, I don't even want to ship out the half that I went in on with Jadon!! No worries bro, I'll send em out on Tuesday so they dont' sit in a warehouse all weekend.

They are definitely young, but still so damn good.. I nubbed it until my fingers burned.
 
Just got my hands on the ~2~ I love the taste profile of this cigar. Sweet yet full of flavor. Funny thing is that all the other sizes are just to strong for my taste, I wonder why the 2's aren't that strong for me? Dion, is the blend any different for the ~2~ compared witht he rest of the line?
