Review Notes:
Rustic looking medium brown wrapper, pre-light aromas of hay and somewhat spicy tobacco. Inconsistent draw on this cigar. Initial coffee and sweet nutty flavors, changing to nutmeg and semisweet chocolate with a round spicy finish. Finishes with flavors of mocha/espresso.

Review Notes:
I got one of these in a sampler pack, so I let it rest for two months before smoking this one and only. This cigar is very nice looking with a durable wrapper and just a few veins present. Const. is exl., this vitola burned razor sharp all the way to the nub. A nice woodsy flavor was present all through the burn, with a unique spice that builds up in intensity to finish a med.-full strength cigar. I really enjoyed this smoke, it was like a big juicey steak, hearty and filling. I know rating a cigar is subjective, but for slowryder to rate this a 2.6 is a slap in the face to all the people who strive to produce a product that people can enjoy. I gave a higher rating for a Flor de Todo, a truly awful cigar.

Review Notes:
Smells good out of the wrapper. First 10 minutes of the cigar were okay. and than it went downhill. Not enjoyable at all, Harsh, bitter, not for those who like mild cigars, threw it in the firepit

Review Notes:
This cigar had some massive veins on it. Outside of that, construction was good. Draw and burn were perfect. Unfortunately, the flavor was below average. It started out very bitter, with some woodiness. After the 1st inch, the bitterness faded and the woodiness remained to the end. The final third was the best flavor, but it still wasn't good enough to want this cigar again. The Serie N was the worst smoke I've had to date so maybe LGC just doesn't fit my tastes. I had read so many positive things about this line, so I'm a little disappointed. I almost put it out but decided to fight through it so I could write a proper review. 2 strikes and LGC is out with me, to many other great cigars to enjoy for me to spend time giving them any more shots.

If limited to only one cigar to smoke for the rest of my life, this may be it. Creamy, leathery, smooth. Enjoying one right now!
