That's what I said...:thumbsup:

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Milder than original I was reading...

 

[Nuckz23]

Looks good but the old one looks tastier! Let us know what you think about it.

 

[Cyrann]

BW generously rerouted an El Tri that didn't make the cut (i.e. not the version above) and I enjoyed it. I'm not sure the exact reasons, but if this is supposed to better or more refined, well... people will love it.

Any official word on what will become of the CURRENT El Triunfador (the lancero)? Is he going to relabel it as a Cabaiguan Maduro Lancero, or will it be discontinued :help:

Also an interesting thought... hmmm.

Yeah, it would be a shame to discontinue that blend!

Keep in mind that the new Triunfadors are going to be offered up in multiple vitolas, none of which looks to be a lancero, so as far as the new blend pushing out the current stick, that seems (at least in terms of a size by size comparison) to not be the case. I could, however, be wrong. . . .

 

[Simoun]

CORRECTION: there may be a lancero in the works, so I guess we'll see. . . .

According to the page on NHC, he probably WILL be releasing a lancero of the new blend. But in either case, he can't keep the current El T and have a new line by the same name, that would cause way too much confusion.

So is the current El T over, or will it be rebanded?

Could be, or he could go ahead and do a Cabaiguan-Cabaiguan Guapos type thing. Of course I'm just speculating. . . .

 

[Cyrann]

I hope they are both made... it would suck to lose the current El Tri.

I got mine today as well as 10 Petit Tatuajes:

I'll be piiiissed if the old El Triunfador is dropped from his lines. It'd be nice to see it relabeled and continue to run.

I smoked a lanceroish one of the new blend for a preview in Oct. (while Pete watched! LOL!)...

It is a good stick, but it was fairly mild (I would say Medium Minus)...it had quite a bit of flavor, but almost no kick...He said this blend was made to be an "Everyday" kind of cigar, one that you could smoke every day, at any time of day, and never get bored...

Full review soon

Ordered mine yesterday along with a fiver of the Viaje holiday Blends. I've never had any of the Cabaiguans so I grabbed a guapo single as well. Looking forward to their arrival

 

[Alwayslit]

Should be an interesting stick"line"....... but more mild?? I thought the "L" was a pretty laid back stick full of flavor.

 

[MU Mike]

A milder El Triunfador doesn't really pique my interest, but I admire Pete for trying new things.
