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.
El Triunfador Lanceros

And these cigars are not to be taken lightly. Trust me on that. Woohoo!
I know there are more than 20 boxes, but don't know how many exactly. WHen i spoke to Dan and New Havana he had 25 boxes himself. My local B&M is getting five.

If it's a good cigar than we'll all jump Pete until he promises to get some more made.

Very nice cigar Pete. The rougher dark wrapper is like a siren with promises of things to come. Except this siren comes through. I like the sweetness and although it is a litle milder than most of my smokes lately, the huge amount of flavor more than makes up for it. I could see smoking these all the time if they were not limited.
Thank you for a fine cigar.

Historically, where does El Triunfadore come from? I did a little digging in some of the books I have of Pre-Revolution brands and found that La Riqueza was under the Quintero Y Hnos. ownership ( D'Clouet 16 is the old factory address that is on the trimming for the current La Riqueza) but haven't had much luck with the El Triunfador history. I have seen & had old El Triunfador bands in the past (yes, I collect & trade them) but would dig on a history lesson if you can.

Don't mention it Jeff.:rofl:
You got that right. I smoked it to about a 1/2 inch left.. hehe. Was absolutely perfect. Something like smoking heaven!
Got my 5'er this weekend and of course immediately lit one up. Wow, what a great stick. Not what i expected, a little more smooth and medium bodied, not quite as much spice as i thought it may have, nonetheless it was a fantastic smoke.

Thanks Jeff.
This info is straight from the horses mouth. If in doubt, ask Dan or Pete (They are good friends). There is nothing about being released again in 2011 or only 120 boxes made and that is straight from the man's mouth. It's all about protecting the brand. Not sure who your anyone's source is, but it doesn't get any better than from the man himself!Scratch that, checked my resources... there are *120* boxes. And he's not even considering production again until about 2010-2011... egh...
Maybe Pete will shed some more light on it!
No matter what, they are yummy and I wanna smoke more.. Damn, they are addicting like the La Riq's . hehe
Box of 25 El Triunfador Lanceros (7 1/2 x 38) packaged and sealed with a large Humidipak for humidified shipping!
Well, good secrets are hard to keep. When word about this small batch release by Pete Johnson hit - the wait was on for this new blend to start shipping. Available in very small quantities - this lancero was created to establish the El Triunfador name from it's Cuban past. Another old Cuban brand name brought to life again. The papeleta design was taken from the original cuban artwork. For this lancero, the packaging is simple. 25 Cigars are bound by a ribbon and wrapped in wax paper inside a simple, vertical box with a slide top. Padded inside, at the top and bottom for shipping - these pigtail lanceros are safe and ready to enjoy.
According to Pete, this blend is for the lancero only. If El Triunfador is turned into an entire brand - the blend and packaging will change for the other sizes. Just released in Sept. 2008 - this vitola is available at only a few vendors and will continue to be made "in small quantities here and there".
