The Blue Label is the only offering from the Holiday Lancero Sampler to be available in another form, or so we think. I’ve had a few of the Puff n’ Stuff, but haven’t been able to compare them directly to those in the sampler. (This review is one out of the sampler.) Given the timeline [...]

Lanceros Collection by Don Pepín Garcia 4

Today, Lancero50 comes to an end. (It comes to an end on time, something I consider a huge accomplishment.)

And cigar news… (Going to have to find a way to keep the intros interesting, which might be difficult.)
