When I smoked one a couple years ago, I found it to be a very pleasant flavor profile with no issues at all. I got that one from Madurofan (remember him) and he raved about them. I Ordered a few some time later and knew they weren't the same blend. I would say it was a cigar that I will remember as top ten from my experience that day.
I am not a Tat fan overall either, personally I think they are a bit overrated due to "scarcity"---but as Kuz said I can see why people like them----but also as he said, not generally for me either. Thats why suprized me about this stick, to paraphrase and change another great line that has been said here about another brand "It tastes just like a Tat, except its good". Barclay Rex Tat was also quite tasty---but other than that-----yup.

I may be mistaken----but there was the original blend for this stick...and you can find them sitting around still at a few places (PM if youre interested). The El Triunfador then became a totally different blend, but Tat is still releasing the lancero on a limited basis with the "same original composition"----or so the story goes:/

The most recent red and gold band tasted nothing like the rustic brown label one I found so amazing. It may have been the age or the moment but I didn't get the same wow the next time I burned one. I decided it was a moment to remember not try to recreate.
Gotcha.....totally different blend Kas. The red and gold band are not the same stick as original brown band----justy the same name. There is still a limited release of the brown banded lancero however----a little confusing I know.

Vulchor, this is what I've been hearing as well, and its the originals that i keep eyeing. Like you said I've never heard a bad review, so I really should just pick some up the next time I order stuff. thanks for all the feedback guys.
Great review. I love the CC, and smoke them regularly. I think the robusto retains more of the cubanesque flavors than the lancero, but they are both great sticks. My 2 favorite vitolas for sure.
Also random Question, why the odd sizes for this line?
i thought i read somewhere that they were supposed to in the cuban tradition but after a closer look at the sizes, this cannot be true. I am in the dark on this point as much as i am in the dark about the names of them. the only name i can figure out is the 2001 (6 x 60). 2001 is the year Pepin came to Nicaragua.

While you're technically right, I just wanted to point out that the size you smoked is very close (1/2" shorter) to the Laguito #2 vitola...so while that one in particular does not match any Cuban vitolas, it is in the traditional size range. Of course I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but perhaps others can benefit from that info.
