Hey Guys,

Does anyone know where I can find these? I have always wanted to try one but do not know of any vendors that carry them. Also, are these worth the price tag of $12-15 per stick?

thanks,

I believe they are still out there but they are getting increasingly difficult to find. All of my usual sources are now out-of-stock. Check on-line as I doubt you'll come across any at a B&M now. (You might but it seems unlikely.)

To me, yes - they were/are worth the price. My favorite size is the Belicoso but the Lancero is a killer smoke too.

I kick myself in the arse for not buying the pepin lancero sampler when it was available. I think that is the only place the El CEn Lanceros were available.

Ok..... I checked with my friend at Holts. They have a couple Pepin Samplers left. They are $74.95. It is a Lancero Sampler, that contains 2 El Centurions. They are an unreleased size.

As a Lancero whore, I managed to pick 10 El Centurion Lanceros up a couple months ago... score! Probably will pick up the entire thing though as I still haven't had the JJ in my beloved size.

I've smoked 1 robusto and have another 4 in the humi. I thought it was less peppery than Pepins other stuff but was creamy and medium bodied with a razor sharp burn. Definitely worth seeking out.

Seems as though my regualr B&M still has three sizes and the owner told me today the only reason he still has them is because I like them!

Sounds like a perfect time to offer to buy-out the remainder of his stock at a discount :cbig:
and I'm sure you could unload the ones you didn't want here.
