Alot of people prefer the Casa Fuente Lanceros over the DC Lanceros, and they are both in the same price range (CF Lances are probably a little more rare)...I actually like both varieties.

i was going to try to smoke them back to back, but didnt have the time. i got some of the casas too....they were easier for me to get than the regular dc's

I love the DC lanceros and the CF lanceros are killer!  Smoked one of each two weeks ago in the DR.

Fuente Fan is the only one brave enough to try to smoke a DC Lancero and CF Lancero back to back... I would be sick to my stomach with the room spinning... those are both pretty strong cigars.  Then again, I tend to smoke a little faster than most guys, so really strong cigars sneak up on me...quickly.  :o

I smoked a DC Lancero and a CF Lancero in Moki's blind taste test and much preferred the CF. I think of that every time I'm tempted to spend the money on DC Lanceros.

I have one without the cedar-wrap, but has "Don Carlos Lancero" printed on the cello.  Any idea how old these are?  Range?

Last few years, does it have the "new style" bands?

I'm not took sure.  I'll have to check when I get home tomorrow.  Should be the same as the cedar-wrapped version, but something tells me that it might be a little different.

The Don Carlos/858 SG/Hemingway bands changed to a new style last year or late 2010.
