Subject: Lancer Cigars Question

About a year ago, cigars started appearing in the old Lancer tin boxes 
with a label indicating that the filler contained "100% pre-embargoed 
tobacco leaf from Cuba" (1959 to be exact). A friend of mine used to 
smoke Lancers years ago, so picked up a box. These cigars were definitely 
NOT the Lancers of his youth. He said they tasted like many of the Cubans 
he had had. And they were fairly cheap. His tobacconist couldn't vouch 
for the Cuban content, but he agreed that the cigars were different than 
the old Lancers. I believe Cigar Aficionado responsed to a question about 
these cigars and basically doubted their Cuban authenticity.

Does anyone know the REAL story behind these "Cuban" Lancers? And what 
happened to the old Lancers?
