This is my favorite LFD blend (I think... by the time I post this I will have remembered... Oh way, Litto Gomez Diez Lancero might be better... ehh...) whatever. Yeah, these are phenomenal cigars. I think the Matatan (robusto), Chisel, and Villano (lancero) are the three best sizes by far. The blend has such awesome characteristics... Going to have to go back to the review on my blog, and try to remember all of the details, but I distinctly remember getting a great variety of flavors, from fruit, to vanilla bean, to a bit of cinnamon and pepper. It is a strong cigar, but it is a smooth, slow strength, not a kick you in the nuts, and f*ck you in the @ss strength like the Double Ligero, and for that reason, I much prefer the Air Bender blend. Looking forward to a fuller release of the Air Bender Maduros.
Oh wow, thanks guys, I didn't know they made a corona size. Which one would you call the corona, the Ponderoso (5.5 x 44) or the Villano (7.5 x 38)? I have a terrible time trying to translate numbers into sizes and vice versa. Is the (longer) Vilano more of a lancero?
Coronas fall in the 4.5-5.5 x 40-43 ring gauge range generally. Lanceros (technically) are 7.4x38, though cigars in the long panetela family are generally referred to as lanceros in the non-cuban market (anything in the 7-8 x 36-40 ring gauge range).
Diamondog hooked me up with one of these, it was in my top 3 want to try, and I can't wait to fire it up. Letting it settle from it's trip from the great white north before I fire it up!
