Which DPG Lancero?
 

I have DPG lanceros on the brain!

I've now done a fair bit of research and narrowed down my to-try list. I know about that DPG lancero sampler (and I still may give in to temptation and snag one), but a lot of the thrill is in the hunt and that just swipes it away.

Anyway, I've read some reviews here (and elsewhere) and I have some guesses about the breakdown, but I'm really curious how close a race it might turn out to be.

I'm not going to elaborate on stylistic preferences because this isn't about 'Which is perfect for me?' I'm sure I'll probably try them all, eventually. This is more of a 'What's your favorite?' Any elaboration on the 'why' or on how many of these you've compared would be way groovy icing, but isn't strictly necessary.

No My Father Lancero?

Not big on lanceros but the my father is pretty damn good. I also like the tat especial, that one is getting my vote from your selections. :ss

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

I have only tried the blue lancero so far. Need to try the others.

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Well... technically, that's a JG lancero, isn't it? ;)

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

1. Hirsh y Garcia - I think it's his best blend overall.
2. Tat Esp - Very complex and simply delicious.
3. Blue Fundadores - The blend for the Blue fits this vitola the best, imo.
4. El Triunfador - Love the Cabaiguan blend and again, fits this vitola perfectly with the broadleaf wrapper, imo.
5. Cubao - Nice and strong.

Of the ones in the poll, I guess it would be the Tat.

voted blue since that's my favorite of the ones I've tried but I suspect the Tatuaje Esp. is :dr too bad I've never seen them.

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Love me some El Triunfadors!!

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Ah, the -stealth Pepin-. May have to add that one back into the mix.

Thanks for the juicy deets, NC! :dr

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

el triunfadore's are pretty good. Love the blue's

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

I went with the Serie JJ, due to the absence of the My Father.

And yes, I went with the sampler... couldn't resist :rl :rl

(Doing my best Hulk Hogan impersonation) DPG Pollmania is running wild brother! :D

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Whatcha gonna do... when the 7 1/2-inch lanceros come down on you!? :banger

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

My Father. Ya Jamie... I know.

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

I have had 3 of the 5 listed,
DPG Blue Fundadores
El Triunfador
Tatuaje Especiales

My vote..... Tatuaje Especiales :dr

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

I don't think the Cuban Classic has the lancero size.

I've tried the Lancero sampler, all were very good. I've tried the triunfador and liked it as well. The Tatuaje Especiales was good too. I don't think you can miss.

I enjoyed the DPG Blue Lancero the most. A lof of spice and complexity and one hell of a smoke.

For what's not on the list, My Father and Cubao are also very tasty lanceros. The Tatuaje Havana VI Victorias (not a true Lancero, its only 6X38) was the only one I didn't really enjoy.

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

The Cuban Classic lancero is in the sampler.

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Tatuaje Especiales IMO

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Brain FART!!!:rolleyes:

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

The DPG lancero sampler are not lancero's. They are shorter than most lanceros, but with a pigtail. The newer Blue Label Fundadores is a different size from the sampler Blue. :2

Re: Which DPG Lancero?
 

Wow! That's vital info. Thanks, Bobarian!

Not only did you just save me some money and some grief, you've reinvigorated the hunt. :D

I wonder why they made that decision. I didn't even think to look at the dimensions in the product description.
