What blend would you like to see in a Lancero?
- Thread starter King Kill 33

Why not ask what pig you would like to see fly?
The point is you can not see this wish list of blends in a lancero because a lancero bunch only has the volume to contain 2 leaves of tripa. Sure you can split one of the leaves, but construction wise the only way you are creating a more complex blend is making the stick with short fill.
And even if the original blend is simple and possible to squeeze in the space or you utilize short fill, the higher combustion temp due to the narrower ring is so much higher that it will totally change the flavor of the blend.
So you can get a lancero with the same brand name on it, but it certainly will not taste like the original blend.

First off, when people use the term seco it really does't mean anything exact... seco can refer to the position on the plant, seco can refer to the thickness and texture in relation to leafs of the same variety, seco can be used to refer to the thickness and texture in relation to leaves of various varietie - i.e., a seco of Dominican Piloto is far thinner than a Seco of Esteli-grown C-98.
When it comes to making a cigar you want all the tobaccos to burn well, but the binder's primary purpose is to serve as a girdle for the bunch, while seco in the blend typical serves the primary purpose of serving as the base on which the flavors and aromas are built and the primary catalyst to combustion.
So I can't answer you second question without actually holding the binder and the filler tobaccos in hand and inspecting them.
Your first question is kinda simple:
Typical Parejo Bunch Capacity
<40rg = 2 leaves
41-44rg = 3 leaves
45-51rg = 4 leaves
52-56rg = 5 leaves
>56rg = 6 leaves
Those numbers are quantities and are baselines, they presume a typical blend where there will be a reasonable mix of varying thickness of leaves from thin to thick. Also it assumes whole leaves, for example you can craft a four-filler 44RG, by using two half leaves...
Again, this is just a TYPICAL GUIDELINE - it always depends on the actual tobacco...

You had me at bacon.........
Yeah, as a classicist, I would argue that is a Lonsdale, not a Lancero.

This man knows. This would be fantastic.
At the same time, I have no qualms with a Lonsdale... I've smoked the sh*t outta them, and will continue to do so. (Just so we are clear.)

Also, let's not forget that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either.
