La Gloria Cubana Serie R Review

[Smokin Gator]

I was gifted this in a PIF...

Nice Maduro wrapper. Small veins with a bit of a rough look. Firm to the touch. Cut clean and had a pleasant not to tight draw. A bit of canoeing right from the start but one touch up and it was fine. The first third was a nice mix of sweet fruit and soft leather and strong coffee. Reminds me of the Graycliff 1666. The light colored ash was a bit ragged but stayed firm until I knocked it off at about a solid inch and a half. The second third the leather was more pronounced and it definitely showed more strength. I noticed my fingers are stained!! Going into the last third the leather is still there but not as prominent. Picking up a really nice oaky wood taste. Final third stayed pretty much the same as it started. I would definitely smoke these again.

[SIZE=3]Thanks for the review Brent. The Series R that I enjoy from this line is the #5 Natural. A nice little smoke indeed

Ditto that MarkinCA. I too like the #5 Natural. I have gone through boxes of both (more of the Natural) and they are delicious.

Thanks for the review.

Been wanting to try these for a while, maduros of course. I just bought a 10pk that was on Joe Cigar yesterday, so I'll be trying them soon.

Great review

The #5's and 6's are one of my favorites and are always on hand. The maduros in each are pretty tasty too.

I love the Series R #6 Maduro

The LGC SR5 Maduro was one of my first loves. Great smoke.

great smoke. i split a box with a couple buddies of mine. i have a few #6 natural in the humi right now and then i bought some #5 mad in there as well.

Thanks for the review. Almost ordered a 5-pack from JR. Wasn't sure about it though. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being strongest, how would these LGC's rate?

Thanks!

LGCR5 nats are one of my favorite cigars of that size. I'd put them around 7 on a 10 point scale for strength .. I don't know how they age as they never last too long.

Thanks for taking me back for a moment to a Maduro that I really enjoy!

[Snake Hips]

Well, another I gotta try. I've been wanting to try out LGC, but was unsure about them and kept finding other things that I wanted to try more for whatever reason (usually price).

Anybody got any input on the special figurado (?) line?

Great, great, cigar
