Lancero love

Just finished another CBOM (Cigar Bundles of Miami) Tampa Blend. Excellent smoke! Slow, even burn, medium-full "strength", nice flavor, nice aroma coming from the foot.

Don Pepin Garcia Blue lancero (7.5" x 38).

I've had a quite a few bad experiences with DPG stuff in the past few years; so many in fact that he's about to go on my 'do not buy' list.

Wow...another disappointing cigar from Pepin. Decent until about halfway, then a very noticeable ammonia/chemical flavor. I think I'm gonna have to put ol' DPG on the list. A sad day.

Oliva Serie V lancero (7" x 38)

Oliva as a company has fallen out of favor with me in the past few years. Too many bad experiences with poor construction/off flavors. But because they used to be one of my favorite cigar makers, I had to give the V lancero a shot. This cigar has been resting nekkid in the humi for about 6 months.

Nice wrapper, draw a bit tight but tolerable. This cigar was really nice, with a flavor that is distinctly different from the other sizes in the line. I may have to snag some more of these.

I've had good luck with the V lancero's. But then again, the box i'm smoking is probably 5+ years old.
