·"If it weren't for the draw, this would have been an enjoyable cigar. As it was, I didn't smoke it nearly as far down as I would prefer for a premium cigar, particularly for a review...it was just too much work, unfortunately. Maybe the next one will be better!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
"As long a smoke as this cigar was, I nubbed it and wished that it wouldn't stop. You just can't beat a cigar with a great flavor profile and a great burn. If I had another one in the humidor, I would have went and gotten it to smoke it immediately. Someone send me another one or box! Seriously, I will be looking to pick some up on the reveal." -Jason (bigslowrock)

·"Although I've got nothing bad to say about this cigar, it just didn't do much for me. Even in mild sticks, I like more complexity and richness in the smoke texture. This didn't have much of it. Probably not a bad smoke for someone new to cigars or someone that likes mild, light bodied cigars. Not really for me though. I'll pass on smoking another." -Brian (B-daddy)

·"This cigar was a performer...looks, burn, draw and flavor...all top notch in my book. I could easily see myself paying in excess of $10 for these...a little speedy for everyday, but just right for a top notch smoke. Highly recommended for Lancero fans who like some flavor and enough strength to let you know it's there...where can I get a box...or at least a fiver!?" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
"What a pleasurable milder smoke with lots of subtle changes within it's original profile. The balance of spice and sweetness was close to perfect, never becoming harsh or bitter. Often the initial pepper blast takes over, but this cigar seemed to keep all flavors balanced and working well together. I would grab a box in a heartbeat." -Gregg (McGreggor57)
