"I know this particular vitola is suppose to be more of a cigar snob size but I love them when they're done well. This one is fantastic. The burn, smoke output, and journey of flavors set this apart from most lanceros that I have smoked. I can't recommend these enough. Go out and buy some. " -Alan (Eulogy)
