  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Well I read in Cigar insider that this was going to be a regular line, but apparently not, so here is a little blurb from the guys at serious on their sweet deal. Cant wait to try one!


La Flor Dominicana
Coronado Lancero

Exclusively at Serious Cigars

We approached Litto many months ago to make a special cigar just for us. He agreed and asked us what we would like. I spoke up and said, "What about a Coronado Lancero?" Litto said, "I can do that."

With that, the Coronado Lancero was born. As production began, we kept asking for a sample, just to check things out. We knew it would be good but wanted to tantalize our customers with a few sticks. Litto would not let any go until they were well aged and ready. About a month ago, La Flor had their sales meeting at the factory in the Dominican and the reps all smoked the cigar. Everyone was blown away. I heard back from my rep right away and the feedback was great. The other reps at the meeting were ready to sell this new size around the country but Litto let them know that it is an exclusive for Serious.

We took several customers to the Dominican a week after that sales meeting. Litto hosted us in his factory and on his farm for an entire day. We arrived at the factory first thing in the morning and crowded into his office for a discussion. Like a gracious host, he had several boxes of cigars for the guys to sample. Everyone picked up a cigar and fired it up, he looked at me and said, "Ron, this is for you." It was the Coronado Lancero. The cigar looked perfect, banded and ready to smoke. I fired it up, and smoked it while we had a great discussion in his office. It is a great cigar, great body, great strength.

The Coronado Lancero is something special and I hope you enjoy them.

I've been thinking of getting a box of these but just can't commit....I wasn't 'wowed' by the coronado enough to grab them yet.

I do have a couple on the way from a good friend though, he thought I should give the coronado a 2nd try before I ditch the whole line.
