ISO Herrera Esteli Lanceros (Limited Edition 2014)

[Pbenda]

So I'm looking to buy several boxes of these (they're now my favorite cigar), but all the usual suspects are out. I bought a box here and there, but I'd like to get some more.

Do any of you know online places, B&M, etc that have boxes of the Lanceros (not the Lonsdale) left?
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Try Mr J's Havana in west warwick RI, they carry a lot and I think that's where I got mine...

 

[Pbenda]

Well, they did carry a lot
GREAT lead, bought a ton!

They're excellent

Is this the same blend as the Lonsdale and other vitolas? ie. the lancero vitola is what makes it "limited edition"?

It's actually not really limited edition. Think liga privada. At least that's what I remember reading

Did a little digging and yes, I think you're mostly right. It's limited in the sense that not many were produced: 2000x15=30000. I'm actually going to be in Warwick, RI tomorrow and Friday for a wedding (wife is in the wedding party), so I'll be left to my own devices for a few hours. Think it's a pass on this one for me, since I have a few Lonsdales at home. But, @Pbenda, happy to stop into the shop @eastsideinside mentioned if you need some more!

Consensus seems to be, different blend. It's very different (better) than the regular HE.

One-time release in 2014.

Really? I thought it was limited production since I think they said they only had two rollers making them. Regardless, they're some damn good cigars

All the boxes I've seen say 2014 LE.

 

[Pbenda]

I'm good in these cigars. For a while.

Thanks to a couple leads from
Eastsideinside I got 14 boxes ordered in just over 24 hours! I'm glad to have stocked up, since it's my favorite cigar.

Many, many thanks to eastsideinside!

You own approximately 1% of all the cigars produced in this vitola. Think about that!

 

[Pbenda]

Yea...and that's just what I ordered due to eastsideinside. Prolly have more like 20-25 boxes total of these now.

In other news I went ahead and purchased an Aristocrat to hold all this stuff...

You HAVE to give us pics of all that! Amazing volume of a really great cigar. Now my 5 remaining sticks are jealous.

 

[Pbenda]

Will do for sure. Gonna be early next week before all the cigars arrive and I get back in town to take pics

@Pbenda is a baller!

Did any of you looking for these happen to come across a vendor selling a 5er of these? I love HE and would love to give the lance's a try, but I hate to commit to a box without trying one first. Thanks!!

PM me your address and I'll bomb a couple your way.

 

[Senor Perfecto]

You can always try writing to Andrew at Smallbatch too.

Okay, stopped into Mr. Js yesterday morning. Picked up one of these little guys. Will report back on my findings whenever I get around to it in my queue.
