winelover Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just wondering who has tried these and what you think? I have now had Robusto pigtail and Lanceros. I think the blend reminds me of the Cohiba Maduro series - does not really do it for me, and tasted blind, one might not guess that they were from Cuba, although I am informed that they are, and rolled by the best. Just not a big fan of maduro wrappers and the flavour it can impart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Its been may years since Ive sampled any of them. I was gifted a few and really dont recall much about them. Obviously did not make a huge impression or I most likely would have made a purchase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salomones Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Smoked the Lancero last year. They are NC. Interesting Blend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaldes Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I had two boxes of the sublimes size about 10 years ago. I did not care for them. They were beautifully constructed and quality tobacco, but had no detectable flavor. I gave them to my father in law. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winelover Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Thanks for the replies. I have ended up with quite a few of these which will work well as humidor defenders of my better cigars. I do believe that they are made from Cuban tobacco as I am taking Ravi on his word, but it is a big Island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targa88 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Had a few a number of years ago. Ravi confirmed at the time they were Cuban tobacco. The blend he said was more Asian....whatever that meant. I found them to be mild, hints of green tea and lemongrass - from what I recall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlson Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Was given one to smoke with some buds. Appreciated the gift, but I was very disappointed. Honestly couldn't find any Cuban characteristics. Smoked like a random grab from the B&M discount bin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBirdman Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Ravi's customs are real Cuban tobacco but the best word I can conjure to describe their flavor is "generic." They taste like a cigar and nothing more, if that makes sense. I ended up giving most of mine away. If you're intrigued because you are on a budget, I personally feel that you can usually get better return on the dollar with NC (including Nudies, which are similarly priced and better in my opinion, though I've never had Ravi's lancero). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
