Does anyone know the difference between the El Triunfador #6 and Limited Lancero?
Any help is appreciated!

The original limited ET is the Cabaiguan blend with a dark Con broadleaf wrapper. The newer ET's are a completely different blend.

I like the originals best but the newer ones are pretty darn good too, James.

Cheers! I think these are listed on Famous as having a Natural wrapper? Do you think they'd be the same blend the original Limiteds?

The #6 has an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. They are not the same blend as the originals. There is not that much difference in price so I would go for the original limited's.

Be careful, I ordered some El Triunfador "maduro" expecting the OR. I got the #6 instead. The OR are still available just in limited quantities.

OK, these are the limiteds I'm on about... originals or not?

This " a radical departure from the original Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped blend released in 2008. " tells me they are the new release. The # 6

That's odd that a box of #6 are about $10 cheaper :r

Yeah, that's messed up. They both have the same descripion. The limited's they have listed should be the originals. I would call or send an e-mail to confirm before ordering.
