Nice looking cigar, consistent burn, smooth draw, full bodied flavor, spicy and leathery, I didnt find it harsh at all, smoked it nice and slow and enjoyed it.

Review Notes:
I'm suprised to see the word "harsh" so often repetead with regards to this cigar...perhaps consistency is an issue. The box I got anyway is anything but-of the four I've smoked aso far, they've all been very very smooth. I've also smoked several singles from various time periods out of different boxes from my local cigar shop...none were even close to "harsh." That being said, i'm rarely in the mood for this cigar, but I do enjoy them on a hot day along side a microbrewed rootbeer, the creamy chocolatey-leather flavors are really highlighted that way....if you like the serie R, you should try it with a good rootbeer! For this flavor profile, I find myself often smoking the Cusano 18 paired maduro over the LGCs (which BTW is the only Cusano I've EVER enjoyed, a black sheep, but a very good one!) because I tend to gravitate towards more strength in both flavor and power...but when I'm feeling in the mood for a lighter, creamier smoke, this one always satisfies...slow burning as any good maduro shoud be, although it takes experience to tend to the burn of such a large ring gauge...I'd imagine if you were drinking coffee or espresso, it would be hard to taste the cigar...very mild. Leaves a great aftertaste that lasts a long time. All in all, a great cigar for what it's trying to be, but it doesn't blow my socks off, but hey, sometimes my feet get cold....to each his own.

Review Notes:
Heard great reviews of this cigar and find full bodied cigars to my liking, but this cigar was harsh. I thought it might settle down after a while, but after about half of it I gave up.

Review Notes:
I am a HUGE LGC fan, but cannot enjoy the Serie R line. I am a full bodied smoker, but in my opinion the Serie R line is harsh and unpleasurable. The construction is outstanding, but the spicy and leathery flavor of this stick is nasty.
