Rich,

I know it’s a couple of years down the road, but I have to thank you for this review. I had recently enjoyed – no, loved – a Los Blancos Nine lancero, so when I saw this, I had to give it a shot. Famous had them at $1.47 a pop, with the toros a bit higher, so I figured, why not? Now, the “why” is, why didn’t I get more of them? I think you hit it on the description of flavors. A bit of a tight draw, but I can live with that. Seems like it would be a great morning smoke. Hmm, coffee on coffee. Thanks for pointing the way!

Doc- I think the only thing “bundle” about this stick is that it…in fact… comes in a bundle, not a box. Other than that, its quality, construction and flavor are easily worth $3 or more. It kind of goes back to what Los Blancos is trying to do with this stick… (change people perception of bundles). Don’t think of it like an overpriced bundle, but as an inexpensive premium… you’ll enjoy it much better that way…

Wow, what a thorough review!!!! I just looked up this cigar locally and I found 2 B&M’s that stock these. As soon as the normal world wakes up, I’m calling to inquire. Thanks.

Outstanding review Rich! $3 for a single is a llittle more than I would expect for a bundled stick. How much is the bundle? I too am always looking for the “diamond in the rough” of cheap sticks and will pick some of these up if I ever see them.

Thanks for the review Rich.
