Ferrero Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 You can all shoot me down for this one. It's been sitting idle on YouTube since Christmas Eve and I completely forgot about it over the break. Rob left a little Christmas message in there so just hold on to it until Christmas this year 3
TheMonk Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Nicely done, gents! Not really surprised by the score, TBH... the Lancero can be a fantastic smoke.
finecigar Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Great review guys, loved it One of my favorite cigars. Happy New Year to all
Fugu Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Was really waiting for the honey note, when Rob was asking. Thinking, "honey", when will you mention "honey", Rob?....
Ken Gargett Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 can't believe i wasted my good sherry on that heathen. 1

So was I. I was glad when he mentioned it too! 5 minutes ago, Ken Gargett said: can't believe i wasted my good sherry on that heathen. Haha! By the way, was the box code or age of the Lancero mentioned in this video? Was it a '14, '15 or '16 Lancero? I had '06 Lancero about 6 weeks ago and I found it interesting when you mentioned the change in the second third of your cigar.

I'm not so sure that the '06 Lancero I had such a large change through the thirds, however, that's okay as younger Cohiba can have this complexity and be still very, very good.

OZCUBAN Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks Ken I have been drinking Brooklyn Brown (read brown ale )of late (if you can get it ) .Not as heavy as a Stout but very good none the less creamy nutty characteristics,doesn't pair to bad with a cigar,next time you speak to Rob ask him about the Stout he was drinking on his trip to Perth ( second thoughts he might not remember it ) but he was pretty impressed,it called Nail Stout ,from the nail brewery here in Perth ,I think it's an Oatmeal Stout They also do an Imperial Stout 750ml bottle about $80 ..it would want to be goood at that price cheers Steve

Dave001 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 nice job guys reviewing one of my all time favorites
SaintMickey® Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 That one made me crave a Cohiba Lanceros... Great job.
NorCalAaron Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I've been anxiously waiting for this review, thanks again.
Bohn007 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Great review, I bought one of the boxes on the recent 24:24. It will go down for a long nap for the next couple of years but looking forward to the smoke.
Drguano Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 No offense Ken but I am with Rob on the sherry. My hosts served Fino one night and, like you, said finish it or you'll get nothing else. They couldn't figure out why a lot of plants were dead the next morning. Northing worse than a sherry fascist...

Northing worse than a sherry fascist... i had not the slightest doubt that there was no chance it would be finished. i do understand that there are plenty out there who detest the stuff. but good sherry is truly heaven on earth. i have no problem at all with that (and promise not to try and ban anyone who disagrees).
Drguano Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Ah! Good sherry... maybe that was the problem. I will keep an open mind. Now I do recall drinking a sherry and enjoying it when some of it was added to a soup.

Bohn007 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The 2016 Cohiba Lancero was #1 on this list. http://therake.com/culture/delicacies/holy-smokes-the-top-nine-cigars-of-2016/ 2
