Beaut of a review. Would you say, now that L40 exists, that it is similar?

Negative. BOTL'12 was, IIRC (been two years now) all about earth and pepper and cocoa, real rich and dark. The L40 was actually released first, but to me has a drier kind of profile, more tobacco and bittersweet cocoa. Hard to describe the differences without shortchanging the L40 in the description. Both were fantastic, but the BOTL'12 is was the better of the two.

But it's been a long time since I had either in my hands.

Pre release l40 was in my top five ever of any cigar. Pre release both was top ten.

Regular production of either did not make any lists for me.

I didn't mention the El T Original because I wouldn't consider it regular production. But.... it is a damn fine Lancero!!!

It is regular production, still making it and still available for retailers to order.

I would call it limited production based on difficulty of tracking these down. Just like I wouldn't call L40 regular production. Semantics.
That being said, I am not in the know of the ordering process for retailers.

If you had to put together a top 5/ or 10 of lances that a newb can purchase now what would be on it? GO!

The Tatuaje especiales both brown label and 10th anniversary are a couple of my favorites.

I came in here and i was gonna say.. I know something most likely better.. Then I saw you posted a MFL... I lost.. you beat me to my pick!


NC= MFL
CC=Cola hands down..

I wasn't that impressed with the MFL. I'll have to revisit.

I'm going to add a wrinkle.



These just got opened at the B&M and I'm burning one and it's terrific.

Room 101 Master 2 Mutante.

EDIT: King beat me to it!

Those are smoking nice right now. Try the MC 1 Mutante if you get a chance too. Also, forgot to mention Daruma Mutante might be one of 101's finest sticks ever made.

The tat BL PL and if you are ok with a medium stick, grab a Rodrigo Lancero. Fantastic!

I will try the MC1 if I can grab one. Agree on the Daruma, it's awesome.

Right now I'm happy to have a full box of the MC2 to dip into whenever I visit the B&M. Which should be in another 7 hours... not that I'm counting...

There are tons of lanceros that are no longer produced or were limited that are excellent (Cain F, Herrera Esteli, La Palina Lag. Esp., HG Drumstick, etc), but in my opinion the best regular production lancero on the market is the L'Atelier 38 Special

I have a MC1 and an MC2 in the humi but I will agree with Doug! Durama Mutante is one of my all time favorite lanceros and I often overlook it. Might light one up this weekend.

THanks for the reminder Dougie Fresh
