Long and slender, the lancero runs about seven to seven and a half inches with a 38 to 40 ring gauge. The narrow ring makes the wrapper the star, for a focused, concentrated smoke.

Read the JournalA lancero is a long, thin cigar, usually about seven to seven and a half inches with a ring gauge of 38 to 40, often finished with a pigtail cap. It takes real skill to roll, which is why many enthusiasts see it as a test of a factory.
With so little filler, the wrapper leads, and the flavors come through concentrated and clear. Slow down: a narrow cigar heats up if you puff too quickly. Most smokers take about an hour.
If you love a blend as a robusto, try it as a lancero. It can taste like a different cigar.
