Save your time and just go by a box of the el triunfador brown label lanceros. One of the best lanceros made if not one of the best cigars made.
Lancero recommendations wanted!

I just googled Lancero sampler............Lots of choices there........found the SanCristobal/La Aroma sampler for 80.00.This was from 2009 if I remember correctly,and limited...........
Viaje Super Lancero
Alot of great input so far brothers thank you! There are several mentioned on my radar! I had an El Triunfador in the humi, gonna have to look and see if that was one that I smoked. The Oliva V's are a thought as well. Haven't had any luck finding the Cain F in the places I've looked. Haven't had a CC that I particularly liked yet so not going that route ( I have my second ever in the humi to smoke on my birthday lol). Never had a My Father Lancero that's an idea. @ MorrisJohn; not too worried about it as I enjoy a wide variety of sticks and hey if I end up with somethin I don't particularly like I'll bomb em out and keep five to let age, no worries there! Main reason for the price point is if I go spending $300 on a box of sticks I don't get my "above the norm" bottle of scotch :bottle:
I agree with others in you should buy a couple singles rather than take a chance on a box of sticks that may not be your thing. Taste is subjective, plus another advantage is that you'll be able to try sticks above the $150 price range. Craigs assembled a pretty good list. I'd go with 2 of each of the following.
Illusione HL Maduro
Illusion HL Claro
Tatuaje Especialles
Tatuaje El Tri (OB)
My Father #4
JDN Antano 1970
CAO Lx2
CyB
LP 40 (if you can find it)

I've had almost every Stick mentioned in another vitola except the L40, CyB, and Viaje. I do have a CyB in the humi. I have over 80 brands in singles already and that's why i'm leaning toward another box purchase. Probably going to be sticking with something I've had in another vitola, just wanted others opinions. :cbig:
2 five packs are barely over his budget!
If you are still leaning toward a box a specific blend, I submit another vote for the CyB Lance. Cannot go wrong!
Tatuaje Especiales can be had for $155 from here : http://cigarsatyourprice.com/index.php?route=product/product&manufacturer_id=496&product_id=8531
Had my first one of these the other day. Very nice smoke. For that price it'd be hard to go wrong.

Yes, but where to find such a sampler? Wanting an OR El Triunfador is one thing, but acquiring one is another story!
Those San cristobals are fantastic!

I know where about 75-100 are sitting right now...so they can be found. It's never about what you know, but always about who you know.

I actually said Original Blend, which are still in production. Original Release are a little harder to come by. As far as what I listed, half of it is still in production and the others can be found with a little bit of looking online and some stores may have them. The "hardest" ones to find would be the Cain F and Opus, but I am sure it wouldn't be too hard to find.
Some great suggestions here. Hard to argue with the OB El Tri or Cain F (or the others), but I'd like to add the 7-20-4 by K.A. Kendall and the La Aurora 107 are exceptional and can be had for around $5.60 a stick. It might be easier to ask for lanceros that people don't recommend.
