La Gloria Cubana- Maduro Serie R #4 Review

[TechMetalMan]

Man, this thing looked SOOO good! I was super excited about it, left it in the humi for 2 weeks since purchasing from my B&M.

Well I lit it- HARD draw! Damnit!

TERRIBLE burn. What the hell?

Flavour is pretty good from the bits I taste from the tiny amounts of smoke I got. Nice and sweet, with some spice every now and again.

I have another that I am going to let sit for quite a while.

I had such high expectations...

Well it's always possible to get a bad one - I have been very lucky with them - never had a bad one which puts them on the top of my hit list.

The next one will go good for you -

Ive never had a bad one either.. Both of the ones Ive had were outstanding. I loved em.. I want more, but just can't afford it. BTW, if you are smart, you will eat something before smoking the next one.

Sorry to hear that you got a plugged stick - La Glorias are one of my old standbys, and I cant recall a time that I had a bad one. Maybe the other stick will impress. Its worth a try...

[papajohn67]

Me too...I've been sampeling the LG Cubana's and have been pleased with them.

[volfan]

The only issue that I have ever had with any LGCs has been uneven burn. I hope that you will give them another shot.

I love these. Let the other one sit a bit, but def try another!

I stopped off at my B&M yesterday and saw these. I almost pulled the trigger on a couple but didn't. I will probably get a few today omw home from work. One thing I noticed though at my B&M, they have really cranked up their humidity machines; they have these things cranked up bigtime, spraying out cool mist that it's actually wet in there. I see why they are doing it, because it has been very hot in Maryland. So, when I buy from them I need to sit my smokes in my humi for a week or two.

I had a few issues with these as well when I first started smoking them. Ive found that keeping my humidity at 65% really helps these out alot, I agree with the others about letting them sit a bit. Hopefully you will have better luck in the future with them. I really like em.

I've had this stick and enjoyed it - had to relight quite a few times becuz they are tightly rolled it seems. A very good smoke tho - if you have the patience for it. Good review! Give them a nother chance...keep your rH at about 65% and it should do fine.

Yep I've been siting at 65% since I bought my humidor (thanks Viper!).

I'll let the other one sit a while.

It's funny- the last LGC I had (a natural Wavell) had a super easy draw. Then I have this one and it's plugged.

My buddy had a LGC R 4 a few days ago in the natural shade- his was a tough draw too. I'm worried that my next one will be plugged as well.

ahh dude that sucks. sorry to hear about it. i've heard good things about the LGC Maduros, and that's another one on my long list of "to-try" cigars Let us know how your next one goes... hopefully you just had a bad one.

[scotth]

A favorite of mine! Sorry to hear you had a bad stick. I had the same problem with the second one of these that I smoked, but decided to give them another try. I'm glad I did because I love them.
