Greetings dear friends! After much coaxing by my dear pal, Jason (@jay8354) over some time, I've decided to give video reviewing a 'crack' over the upcoming Australian summer holiday season. I thought the exemplary 2017 Xmas Sampler would be a good source to share some knowledge of these fine cigars offered by El Presidente for the benefit of our members. I'd like to say that speaking 'on-the-fly' about cigars is certainly a challenge and I will need to acknowledge errors throughout this series (so bare with me). Also, please feel free to share your thoughts on these cigars in this thread, especially as they are the best of 2017. If you have views or opinions contrary to what has been stated, please feel welcome to express your thoughts and say so, after all, my own views here is intended to serve as a guide. The main goal of this series is to look at the question, "Why would you as a cigar enthusiast reach for this particular cigar? Or, what circumstances or situation suits each particular cigar in the 2017 Christmas Sampler series?"

Good day all, I recently re-watched the battle of the long and skinny's, where el pres and ken put two aged top of the line long and skinnys through their paces in a review. the trinidad fundy head to head with the cohiba lancero. in which the fundy just out gunned the lanceros by a small margin. I tried having my own go and making the comparison and i too think the fundy won by a hairs breadth ,however, i smoked a BML 2011 funadores and a BTO 2013 Co lancero. Both were phenomenal 2 of the best sticks i have smoked all year. but the trini had a couple of yrs o the lancero I thought it would be great to get others opinions or it would be a great way for you gents to spend the weekend drawing the same comparison if ur lucky enough to get ur hands on these awesome sticks! I guarantee it will make for an amazing few hours.. Which in ur opion has the edge the Trinidad Funedores or The Cohiba Lancero. Let the games begin!
