"The Love of Lanceros" 2008 CA article

[Chief StrongLeaf]

I enjoyed this article about lanceros written nearly five years ago. Its interesting to see whats occurred in the industry with regards to Lances since then.
Cool, was the part where they write about the blenders rolling just the wrapper leaves and smoking them straight up to get an unadulterated taste of the leaf (yes!)
I will be on the look out for Davidoff's Millennium Blend Lancero and a few Cohiba lances too.

Great find Chief, very good article. Unfortunately Davidoff discontinued the Millennium Lance earlier this year. Definitely keep your eyes peeled to find any because they won't be around much longer.

Lancero is and will always be my favorite vitola

Awesome Chief, thanks for posting that.

Sort of gives you an insight into filler concerns that seem to be unique to lance's, never really gave it much thought before now. But the high rejection-rate they spoke of makes sense if you don't know what you're doing. GREAT FIND!
