Al sold me an old stick when I bought the box of new ones. They are a really different cigar in taste profile. Hard for me to quantify the exact taste difference, but I enjoyed both. I think if you have the old blue lancero, it will taste distinctly different, but you will not be disappointed.
The new blue label had a peppery bite at first then mellowed, but to be fair this could be a factor of age between the old and new as well.
I like the new ones. Will bury some in the back of the humidor to let age.

How do these compare to last years version?
