such a great cigar, it is a shame that the lancero is limited release.

Just got word from Vicor that there are a few Cabinets of 50 remaining. He went on to tell me that a shop in Philadelphia called Liberty Smokes has them.

I didn’t see a website with a quick google search, but that doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist.

Mountchuck & OlivaSerieV
I sent Victor an email this morning asking him if they were sold anywhere. I intended to send the email the night I recorded that video but it slipped my mind and I got caught up in other things.

OlivaSerieV,
I had a blue label Robusto right after Cigarfest. It was one of the samples that were handed out and I didn’t care for it. I don;t know if I got a dud or Ive simply moved away from them in terms of preferred taste.

In any case, I’ll have to check out the Demi-Tasse. I haven’t had one before and I’m finding myself drawn more to the smaller cigars as of late.

Nice review. I sure wish these lanceros would see a regular release…the only place I’ve seen them is in a DPG lancero sampler at like $7 a stick.

I like lanceros in general, and Pepin does them better than most it seems to me.

BTW if anyone deserves the right to use the word Cuban in their cigars its Don Pepin… He lived in Cuba in the cigar industry more years than most of us have been alive.

Walt,

Thanks for the great review… Now the problem is how do we get our grubby hands on these!

I smoke all sizes of the DPG Cuban Classics and like them all.

Have you ever smoked the Blue Demi-Tasse? I would bet money that you would like them if you enjoy the perlas!
